Former cop Brian O'Conner partners with ex-con Dom Toretto on the opposite side of the law. Since Brian and Mia Toretto broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom.
What critics thought
Fast Five landed as the franchise's creative high point for most critics, who credited the pivot to heist-movie structure and Dwayne Johnson's entrance as genuine reinventions — though the film's bloated running time, thin characters, and weak dialogue drew consistent complaints even from those who ultimately recommended it. Johnson himself received near-universal praise while his co-stars did not, and opinions split sharply over whether the movie's shameless excess was exhilarating or just exhausting.
“a skillfully assembled 130 minutes at the movies, with actors capable of doing absurd things with straight faces, and action sequences that toy idly with the laws of physics”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“not, by any normal criteria, a good film”
Empire
“it's clear the budget wasn't used on acting lessons for the cast”
The Hollywood Reporter
“Justin Lin, taking his third turn behind the franchise's wheel, is at least a competent hack”
