Fast Five (2011)

An Empire Of Words

Before the Fast Five hit the screens, the Fast and Furious movies were typical movies about drag racers and their lives. The Fast Five turned the series into a full-fledged franchise that has grossed over $1.5 billion at the box office. Many claim the success of the fifth installment was mainly due to the addition of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Well, definitely the fight scene with Vin Diesel was highly anticipated by fans. But more than that, the story just got better, and the humor was more appreciated when it came. Director Justin Lin was able to bring all the characters together, and it simply was a better movie than its predecessors. Still, some critics pointed out that stunts became more unbelievable. Well, you can’t please everybody, and there really is no perfect film.
