FAST 5

Being a huge fan of the Fast & Furious franchise i was just counting days to its release...It fuckin released in the IMAX...wat else cud i ask for...It had the history of being awesome.The trailers looked promising which i kept seein over and over again.There cud be nothing more satisfying than to watch Vin Diesel be bald and Paul Walker have hair against a backdrop of amazingly fast cars and gyrating buttocks.
The movie kicks off with Vin on his way to a jail sentence of 25 yrs..yeah ryt!!  lik thts gonna work... So his buddies are out to rescue him in the only way known to them which can easily put our Superstar Rajni to shame cos the prisoner bus just flips by hittin a Dodge charger after an insanely choreographed stunt... The gang then flees to Rio where for some reason even the slums look amazing... Vin n Paul arent paid to sit idle so they take up a gig with a lil help from their old friend Vince from the 1st part of the franchise... the jobs an over the top train robbery which is brilliantly shot in a beautifully barren locale and for some unexplained reason Vin decides to not follow the plan which eventually leads to a suicide leap into a gorge...
 Factual Error 1.)  Although it looked awesome and my mouth was wide open throughout the scene but i gotta say not even Vin can survive the plunge from that height into the water....


Moving on, this treason infuriates the kingpin of Rio who inturn is now thirsty for their blood...In the mean time FBI sends over an elite team headed by The ROCK to capture Vin and gang...
Factual Error 2.)  Brazil does not have an extradition treaty with the United States. Therefore Hobbs(Rock) and his team have no authority to arrest or even detain anyone in Brazil.


So now Vin and gang cook up a plan to get back at Herman Reyes the kingpin baddie of Rio. So they assemble a team of assorted characters from all the past F&F movies turning this one into and ALL STAR F&F 
Continuity Error 1.) Han Lue died in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. until and unless this happened before that..either ways it doesn't add up...  


The teams ready and so is the plan, only thing required is really fast cars. So just to relive the glory days of the F&F franchise Vin and Paul race to win new cars which are faster and which would would help em in their plan... 
Factual Error 3.)  If Vin cud beat the other car how in the hell is tht car faster... I mean just use the one u beating everybody's ass with...


Highlight of the movie - Vin Diesel vs The Rock... One of the most amazing fight sequences till date, one that cud put Wrestlemania to shame... Never seen bodies going thru so many walls..Friggin awesome...It was worth every second and every penny to see the 2 giants try to kill each other with their bare hands....
Continuity Error 2.) All of the cuts and blood on The Rock and Vin disappear immediately after their fight...They pull off a Wolverine of sorts... 


The plan looks straight out of Oceans 12 but is a fantastic adaptation...The climax is a collection of  brilliantly choreographed stunts put together  and shown fantastically by the director...
Continuity Error 2.) Several times when they are towing the vault behind their cars, the vault rolls over when going around corners, twisting the cables. In the following shots the cables are always untangled again.


AS I SEE IT Vin Diesel is back with a bang doing wat he does best; drive fast and kick ass..Paul and Brewster do an ok job...Gal Gadot looks amazingly delicious.... The Rock looks bulky and somehow sweaty throughout the movie...This is probably Justin Lin's best movie of the 3 editions of F&F he's directed...Overall an amazing experience, brilliant stunts, fantastic cinematography, had my mouth open for most parts of the movie...Would most definitely watch it again..


"Please God don't let this be the last edition of F&F cos it has most certainly has left me hungry for more"

  1. Good one... I liked "Gal Gadot looks amazingly deliciou."
    About the Error: Their motive is to entertain and they are achieving it by showing unrealistic stunts, actions, scenes etc. Audience like it they are entertained motive is achieved and movie is a hit..
