“Fast Five”
This is not a great film, BUT it delivers to its intended audience. Cars, cars, cars are racing fast. Things are blowing up. A “heist” movie set in Rio de Janeiro, it features half the “muscle” men in Hollywood. But, it works. The action pieces come at you relentlessly. The actors are obviously all having fun. Why not – - – with all the toys we have never had? Spoiler alert: the bad guys win in the end. The “good guy”, Duane “The Rock” Johnson survives and next time he will surely win.
