"Mission Impossible" Meets "Ocean's Eleven" On Hot Wheels!

As the fourth sequel in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise, "FiveFast" combines elements of a Tom Cruise "Mission Impossible" epic aswell as the George Clooney, Brad Pitt & Matt Damon "Ocean's Eleven"outings. Our high-octane protagonists have fled south to Rio deJaneiro. They plan to steal a fortune in cold cash from Brazil's mostdangerous man because he framed them for murder. Swift, swerving,snappy reflex driving constitutes an integral part of this careeningcarefree narrative. Mind you, the larger-than-life heist and the wayour heroes not only prepare but also pull it off absorbs about half ofthe film's brisk 130 minutes. Justin Lin and his three-time "Fast andFurious" collaborator scenarist Chris Morgan have raised the stakesagain so they can top "Fast & Furious" and they've done a splendid jobof topping the previous epic. When Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Conneraren't tangling with murderous Brazilian thugs, they must contend withan incorruptible good guy. Tenacious Federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne'the Rock' Johnson of "Doom") vows to hunt them down and apprehend themand he never quits. Literally, our heroes are between a 'Rock' and ahard place! "The Fast and the Furious" franchise has evolved over thelast decade from illegal street racing done in conjunction with somecrime. Initially, the speeders hijacked eighteen-wheelers for theirloads. Since "Fast & Furious," they have involved themselves in biggercrimes. The life & death heist here is as outlandish as it isaudacious. Indeed, "Fast Five" surpasses "Fast & Furious" for no otherreason than its final 30 minutes overshadows everything before it. No,Toretto and O'Connor couldn't have gotten away with their ambitiousscheme in real life any more than they could navigate those tunnelswithout accident in "Fast & Furious." Nevertheless, Lin and Morgan maketheir strenuous efforts look like a lot of fun, something that thetunnel racing sequences lacked."Fast Five" opens where "Fast & Furious" ended. Dominic 'Dom' Toretto(Vin Diesel of "xXx") has been sentenced to 25 years in Lompoc prison.Former FBI agent Paul O'Connor (Paul Walker of "Into the Blue") andDom's sister Mia (Jordana Brewster of "Annapolis") along with anotherdriver wreck the prison bus in route so Dom can escape. Incredibly,nobody is hurt in the accident. The opening gambit in the previousmovie "Fast & Furious" was so good it made the rest of it appearanti-climactic, but this isn't the case in "Fast Five." Indeed, Lin andMorgan top themselves in "Fast Five." Once O'Connor and Mia have Domsprung, they are approached by Dom's childhood friend Vince (MattSchulze of "Blade 2") about a railroad heist where they will steal somesports cars. This heist recalls the opening gambit in "Fast & Furious."A wrecker cruises up alongside a train. The thieves cut an oblong holein the freight car containing the vehicles. They catapult the cars outsideways onto the wrecker's ramp and then lower the ramp so the driverscan back down off it and peel away in a cloud of dust. Of course,nothing can go smoothly in a heist movie. Our heroes discover the DEAhas impounded the cars and their native gun-toting accomplices refuseto let the DEA thwart them. The Brazilian gunmen kill the DEA agentswithout a qualm, while our heroes are incriminated for the killings.Dom helps O'Connor get off the train, but Dom has to plummet hisconvertible into a river. They jump for their lives.The Feds dispatch Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson of "Faster") to capture Torettoand O'Connor. Meanwhile, Dom concocts an incredible plan to take over a$100-million from the man whose killers gunned down the DEA agents. InSouth America, crooked entrepreneur Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almedia of"Desperado") rules the country. Reyes gets whatever he demands. Ourheroes find a computer chip in a confiscated Reyes' sports cars. Thechip contains a treasure-trove of information about all of Reye's cashstashes. Dom urges them to pull 'one last job' and rob Reyes blind. Ourprotagonists assemble a racing team that includes O'Connor's childhoodfriend Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson of "2 Fast 2 Furious"), Tej Parker(Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges of "2 Fast 2 Furious"), Han Lue (Sung Kang of"Tokyo Drift"), former Israeli intelligence agent Gisele Harabo (GalGadot of "Fast & Furious"), and a couple of others. Dom and companystrike the first of Reye's safe houses. Reye's men watch in horror asour heroes burn the money. Immediately, Reye relocates his fortune tothe downtown police station. He locks it up in a vault that can only beopened with his hand print. If you've seen the trailer for "Fast Five,"you know they steal the entire vault and then drag it like a wreckingball through town so the finale looks like a demolition derby.Ultimately, "Fast Five" is about having a good time. Again, the heroesare the underdogs, while the villains are thoroughly treacherous. TheRock shows up as a good guy caught in the crossfire. He is wants tocapture our heroes because they are his quarry. Of course, the fastdriving scenes thrive on adrenalin-pacing. The numerous gunfights arenoisy enough with everybody blasting away at each without blinking."Fast Five" reunites virtually everybody and then some who havesurvived all previous epics. Naturally, the Brazilian scenery isfabulous, and "Fast Five" serves as a travelogue when Lin and Morganaren't wrapping expository scenes about the heist around our ears. Amindless epic about motorized mayhem, "Fast Five" springs somesurprises that change everything that will make you yearn for a fifthsequel. Be advised, don't leave the theater until the entire endcredits roll, you're definitely in for a shock.

The fastest and most furious ride yet.

Making a sequel to a film is never normally a good thing. They exciteall the fans of the previous film(s) and then disappoint them with aproduction that is not better than the original. The same goes for aremake. Some films turn into a series where each film becomes worse –this has been the case with the Fast and Furious series. However thisfifth film is one that outclasses its predecessors, read on to see why.Fast Five continues where Fast and Furious left off, with Dominicsentenced to 25 years in jail and the bus chase that was seen at theend involving Mia and Brian. The aftermath of their interception wasthat they managed to break Dom out of custody, dodged every authority,and have fled to Rio de Janeiro (where every Brazilian seems to beportrayed as a gun-toting thug). In order to break free, they attemptto pull off a 100 million dollar heist. It isn't long before they allbecome a few of the most wanted criminals. Their mission that ripsthrough Brazil sees two on their tail – federal agent Luke Hobbs(Dwayne Johnson), who never lets anyone escape and corrupt drug lordReyes (Joaquim de Almeida) who wants them dead.That's not really a witty plot. And there aren't great performancesguided by a witty script either so rule out suspenseful conversationsand memorable dialogue. A merit goes to the Dwayne Johnson though – hewas perfectly cast for his role and shows a lot more of his talky WWEside unlike his last film Faster where he was virtually on mute. ButFast and Furious has never been known for excelling in those aspects offilmmaking. It's known for the action scenes. And what spectacularaction scenes there are in Fast Five. It takes it turn to be more ofThe Expendables instead of the previous films of the series by having a'men on a mission' plot element and emphasising more on fighting thanracing. There's more road rage in here than street racing, and for therecord there's even an ex-wrestler versus action hero fight like therewas when Stone Cold fist fought Sly Stallone.The first act of the film is fast and furious. It quickly takes theaudience on a relentless train ride where we see a train robbery inprocess. This act quickly builds up a background for the story so theaudience knows who, what, when, how and why the team are in Brazil. Thesecond act revolves around the main plot element of the $100 millionheist. The film decelerates slightly here when we see the crewplotting. Anyone who would have seen the details of the film beforehandwould realise why – this lasts over 2 hours, longer than all of theprevious films. The 10 minutes after a full two hours weren't reallynecessary but show us the aftermath of the third act, the hugelythrilling act. Any who feel frustrated at the pace of the second act –stay for the climactic scene in the third act.Think of Fast Five as the cinematic equivalent of a mindless muscularathlete. Can't talk a good game but can surely play a good game. Wehave all met that person, that guy who failed his exams but took thefootball pitch by storm at high school. Fast Five is as absent minded –plain characters and clunky dialogue. But the 'physical' side is whereit amazes – the action scenes of course. It's like the men behind thecamera decided to perfect the action scenes, the plot was secondary.Looking at this year's earlier films The Mechanic and The Green Hornet,it's safe to say that Fast Five has the best action sequences of theyear yet, and is the best action film overall so far.Verdict: Forgive the simplicity of the script and get ready for thefastest and most furious ride yet.Find more of Musanna's Film Reviews @ musannaahmed.blogspot.com

Pretty good action, thriller and worth watching movie!

The Fast and Furious 5, this version is not much about usual street carracing. It is blended with thrill, action, fight, and sentiment scenes.Right from the beginning to the end, you could enjoy by watching theaction scenes of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Along with them DwayneJohnson (The Rock) joined and performed some action sequences to givemore enjoyment to the F&F fans. As well as the old street race folksjoin the hands with F&F 5 team to show some formal car stunt sequences.At last, in this edition Mrs. Paul Walker gets pregnant and her brotherVin Diesel got a second hand hot chick as a future loving lady.Eventually, the way this movie ends I felt the completeness work doneby the Director, rare to see this fulfillment in the English movies.

Pretty average, shallow story, what else did I expect?

Fast and Furios has been going for a while now and while no onepretends that they're great works of art, for however many millions itcost, a blind, gimp monkey could do a better job. This particularinstallment seems particularly dull, however. The plot is prettystupid, the one moral character in the story throws away everything shebelieves in and even the Rock can't help this dismal outing. Here's thelowdown:Plot: *Some* cars (not as many as you'd like), a harebrained plot torip off a drug dealer (al a Ocean's Eleven) and the Rock busting somepretty weak moves not seen since his WWE days. Some really dumb dragracing in police cars because I think the director realised that thereisn't too much actual racing in this film. And that's really thelet-down: they've eschewed the only good thing about the series (thecars) and replaced it was a dumb and unoriginal heist plot. Thetimeline is also skewed. This one fits in before Tokyo Drift, but I'mnot sure where in relation to #4 (presumably afterwards).Script: Poorly written. The characters don't do anything particularlystupid (they don't do anything particularly good either), but theywaste a lot of time. For instance, they try to come up with a scheme tobreak in (I won't say where) which involves trying to drift around somecorners, and then just abandon the idea when it gets too hard. WTF?It's substandard writing.SFX: Not too bad, but nothing really spectacular.Characters: Meh.Overall, it's pretty weak. This film feels like it had a low budget,and tries to pretend it really had more money than it did. The firstFast and Furious was actually okay, mostly because it had neat cars anda reasonable plot (even if it wasn't done very well). The next one waspretty crap. Tokyo Drift was likewise crap, but I actually didn't mindit. Then number 4 was average with a really dumb plot and lost thehottest chick in the series, and now Fast 5 continues that. At leastit's consistent.Anyone who tells you that they're supposed to be like this, they arewhat they are etc etc, is retarded. In reality, good films actuallyhave decent plots, nice cinematography and well-written characters. Amovie about cars can have a reasonable story (it's not that hard) andbe well acted. What these people really meant to say was, "These filmshave been badly written by a pair of monkeys, unimaginatively shot by asloth and half-assedly directed by a chicken, but I have no imaginationand I liked it".4 out of 10.

Just another action movie

Why does this even have to be a fast & furious sequel..I thought the story of the fast and furious movies revolved arounddrags and races. This movie did have a drag with the cop cars which wasunnecessary given their situation.Does anyone remember how cool the cars & drags were back in theoriginal. I remember each and every model of the cars used in themovie. Or how cool it was see them push the NOS button to go faster. Orhow cool the entire soundtrack of the movie was. It's one of thosemovies that no matter how many times you saw you could never get boredof.This movie just doesn't do that. Its one of those mindless actionmovies where you keep your brains in your car before you enter thetheatre to preserve it in the same condition. Even though the actionsequences in the movie are shown well, they are too far fetched andtotally unrealistic.I felt the damage done to the city at the end was far greater than thecash they steal, for which they need to take a sequel to hunt them downwhere ever in the world they might have escaped to, to pay for all thedamage done.But what i love is the moral of the story at the end. "If you have themoney, always go in for a European sports car" :)

Fast Five (or Ocean's Eleven with Dodge Chargers)

By the time a franchise gets to its fifth film you're probably worriedthat the laws of entropy are in full effect, and for good reason.Outside of horror franchises, how many fifth films can you name thatwere anywhere close to as successful or entertaining as the original?Maybe it had to do with having low expectations (after all I'vesuffered through 2 Fast 2 Furious and have wiped all memory of The Fastand the Furious: Tokyo Drift from my conscious mind) but Fast Fiveseriously struck me as a fun to watch, exciting and funny action flick.The basic premise is nothing new for a crime movie – bring in a team ofthe best in your field to split a multi-million dollar score that willallow for a cushy retirement from a life a crime. In this case, thatscore is to be had against the most powerful man in Rio de Janeiro.To accomplish the job, lifetime criminal Dominic Toretto and formerfederal agent Brian O'Conner bring in a team of all the best racers andspecialists that they have met along the course of their illustriouscareers. Characters like Vince, Gisele, Han, Roman, Tej and otherfavorites come out of the woodwork for the big score.Making that score becomes even more difficult when the United Statesgovernment becomes involved and sends a ringer in to catch Dom andO'Conner. Agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is a match for Dom in almostevery way. He's big, determined, and has the resources of the U.S.Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service at his disposal. Hobbscommissions the aid of a rookie Rio cop named ElenaWith her help, Hobbsmakes life for the Ocean's Eleven-esque crew even more difficult. A rayof hope for Dom and the others lies in Elena, the widow of a clean copoffed by Reyes before the start of the movie. Elena will come upagainst a choice of doing her job without question or taking a shot athelping the criminal crew make a score against Reyes.Aside from a fairly easy to follow plot this film has what you wouldexpect, a solid soundtrack, good looking people in skimpy clothing,humor (though mostly as shallow as the human emotions portrayed) and,of course a barrage of fast cars in adrenaline charged chase and racescenes.If you've stuck with the F&F franchise, odds are you are wondering whatsort of cars you can expect from the most recent installment. I doubtyou'll be disappointed. Let's take a look at a few of the cars you'llsee.Of course, Dom's immortal 1970 Dodge Charger is back, though in thissetting it's forced to look a little less mean and impressive in orderto stay under the radar. It's not the only Charger in the film – not bya long shot. Fast Five is filled with 2010 and 2011 Chargers (somerealized as police vehicles and others are modified Chargers driven byDom and O'Conner for the final heist). To round out the Dodge productplacement was a 2010 Challenger.Many of the modern cars in the film were used by the team to try andbeat a camera array in a parking garage and driven only on an indoortest track. It gave filmmakers a good excuse to run some modern,hairpin turn capable cars like a Porsche GT3, 2010 Subaru STi, Nissan370z, and others across the screen. Additional modern cars include aLexus LFA, 1996 Toyota Supra, and a Koenigsegg CCX.Classic car buffs have more to look forward to then Dom's Charger (anice surprise after the NOS engine, rice-rocket sounding cars that havecome to symbolize the franchise). Though the screen-time is brief, wesee some work done with a '66 GT40, '66 Corvette Grand Sport, and quitea few other 60s and 70s muscle cars. Motorcycles weren't left outeither as a real hot Ducati Street Racer (with a real hot Gal Godot onthe throttle) makes an appearance.If your taste in cars is at all similar to my own, you might findyourself drooling over Hobbs' government issued SUV that looks like agorgeous, khaki-colored, utilitarian, armored behemoth on wheels andmonster-truck shock absorbers. To save you some research, this beast iscalled a Gurkha LAPV. It's built on a Ford F550 chassis and wasdeveloped to withstand IED attacks with optional NATO level 3 armor.Though the top speed is about 90MPH, this beast is the perfect vehiclefor the tight streets and uneven terrain encountered by Hobbs in hispursuit of Dom through Rio and surrounding areas in Brazil. And sorry,this vehicle is not available to civilians. Other than the cars thereare a few more good reasons to head to the theater for this film.Adding Dwayne Johnson to the cast finally gives Vin Diesel someoneimposing to match up with physically. Johnson's character Hobbs is atough guy who lives like there is a strict line between black andwhite. While some of the characters in the film only have time to comeoff as two dimensional, Hobbs has three dimensions and is forced tomake some choices that put his multiple motivations up against eachother. Don't expect any Oscar worthy acting from Johnson or any of theother folks involved and don't expect some sort of gritty Eastwoodrealism and you should have a good time. As I mentioned, the plot ofthe film isn't real twisted, unique, or surprising, but it's fullyrealized and satisfying by the time we reach the conclusion.

Out of Control

First of all public disclaimer....I liked the 1st two iterations in theseries; I couldn't stand three and didn't even watch four. Sufficed tosay, I was skeptical going into Fast Five. Bottom Line, It was the bestmovie that I've seen seen this year by far, I liked Hanna a lot, but Iloved Fast Five. It was exciting, hilarious, disgusting, crazy, and did I mentionexciting already. It was like Ocean's Eleven skill with Transformers 2Action.Character Development greatly exceeded the previous 4, BackgroundStories, Cinematography in Brazil never disappointed, Dialogue wasclever, Special Effects, Stunts and Fight Scenes, Gunplay, PlotTwists.....Out of ControlWell done and I can't imagine how it could have been any better.

The fast and the freaking awesome is more like it.

This is a great movie if you enjoy the series. Adrenaline fueled action from start to finish with some story to garnish the plate. Personally I feel that this is the best movie in the series. These guys are my favorite bad guys by far, and Johnson is an excellent addition to the Fast and Furious family.

Drifting strong in 5th gear

I only went to see this in theatres because friends where going, and I had nothing better to do. I expected this to be just another installment of the Fast & Furious franchise of movies, with a few drag races for pink slips, a brush with the law, and a few action scenes... and yes, that all was in this one, too... but there was so much more that I was not expecting to happen, and by end of this film I was glad I had gone to see it.The movie kicks off right where the last left off. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) is broken free from his jail sentence with the help from Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) who has now instantly gone from a cop to a wanted criminal. They head down to South America and cook up a scheme to make a few bucks to start a new life. So the plot doesn't sound like much, they never really did before, did they? But I can assure you that the movie has some great action scenes, and not just involving the cars this time. Now that Brian is a wanted man, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is added to the franchise as a special forces (CIA?) cop named Hobbs. The Rock seemed too buff for the role, and seemed to be overacting the stereo typical role of the muscle buffed military style leader who will not take no for an answer, but he didn't take away from the acting anymore then Vin Diesel does... ok, enough bagging the acting, because it's been no better in any other one of these movies... so why am I saying this movie is rated 3 and a half to 4 stars? The ACTION! Some of the chase scenes in this movie are the best I have seen in years, even fans of car chases in James Bond and Death Race should enjoy the ones occurring in this movie, or in particular, the closing few minutes of the movie. It really came as a surprise to me, as the movie kind of started off with action, then had some more action, then got a little boring with all the sentimental characters manly love for each other, then in the end all of a sudden ....BOOM!!!!... and I wondered to myself "Where did that come from?". It seemed like something fans of Oceans 11 (the remake) would love. A cleverly put together little plot that is full of twists, turns, explosions, crashes and a whole vault of excitement.I don't know if everyone will agree with me, but this Fast & Furious, for me, is the best of the whole series. I definitely recommend you see this, if you enjoy the types of movies I mentioned, and this will sure be a DVD/BlueRay disc or two worth purchasing in a few months time.The reason I can't give it 5, isn't because of The Rock or Vin Diesel trying to out-do each other for an Academy Award, but because a few scenes in the middle needed to be trimmed down, and the final scenes after the awesome car chase needed to be shortened way down... the whole "where are they now"/ "And they lived happily ever after" things shouldn't go on for as long as they do in this. But apart from that, if you do see this, expect to see one of the best car chase scenes in a movie... EVER!Update: DVD REVIEW. The DVD contains the theatrical and directors cut of the movie. The extended version has a deleted scene put back in about the lead up the end scheme, and a bit more blood during a gun battle towards the end of the film. Other then that, it's not very noticeable. There is a small featurette like extra where the cast and directors talk about the cars of the film, as well as two extra deleted scenes. The DVD transfer has been great, as expected, and watching it again I was able to get more into the film and understand the development scenes, so I take back what I said and I think the film has a much better flow the second viewing. Still a great get away scene at the end of the film, and I still say it's one of the best, and again, the best F&F movie so far.

Preposterous Fun

I viewed this "blind" without having seen any of the previous "Fast &Furious" offerings. Previously a series which apparently involved cartheft and street racing held little appeal . I am pleased to reportthat my preconceptions were wrong, and I thoroughly enjoyed two hoursand twenty minutes of preposterous fun.The moral problem of rooting for robbers is side-stepped by the factthat they are robbing from even badder guys – a drug baron and hiscartel. Vin Diesel enjoys himself enormously as the robbers headhoncho, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson enjoys himself even more as Hobbs hisspecial forces nemesis charged with hunting him down.The plot itself is a classic Hollywood formula. The robbers doublecross each other, the good guys are sent to catch the bad guys who areout to steal from the even badder guys. The chief good guy hooks upwith the prettiest girl, the bad guys come unstuck, but so do the goodguys, who then form an understanding to thwart the even badder guys.Director Justin Lin directs with style and brio with car scenes usedsparingly, and therefore very effectively, the gaps being filled inwith old fashioned heists, rip-offs, foot chases and shoot-outs. ElenaNeves as the honest cop is hot and shades Jordana Brewster as thegangsters moll. The Brazilian/ Rio location shots are milked for allthey are worth with plenty of swooping over the favelas, Christ theRedeemer ,the Corcovado mountain and the Copacabana.The climax, a raid on a vault is plain silly, but great fun and PaulWalker is excellent throughout playing alongside Vin Diesel. A minorproblem is that the normally imposing Diesel is physically dwarfed byDwayne Johnson who is clearly here to stay for the next instalment. Anadrenaline rush from start to finish with blue skies, stunning scenery,pretty girls, muscle bound guys and fast cars , clichéd? Yes. Fun ?Hell, yes too!

Best of the five.

This review is from: Fast Five (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo in Blu-ray Packaging) (Blu-ray) Fun, stupid low-brow movie. Like The Onion joked, this could have been written by a five year old, but it had hot women and cool cars, and stupid-fun chases. Not bad.

GREAT ACTION FILM W/ LESS THAN AN "R" RATING

This review is from: Fast Five (DVD) FAST FIVE is a great action film with less than an "R" rating. The ending and the extra clip contained within the credits at the end hint at a sixth F&F. To see how they work both the timeline to explain Han's "death" in Tokyo Drift and the storyline to explain Letty's "death" in #4 would be interesting. That they do all of this with a high level of action and intensity, but keep the elements contained to less than an "R" rating is nothing short of phenomenal.

Faster and faster.

Fast Five has enough machismo and testosterone to make The Expendableslook subdued. It's much more of a straight up action/heist film thanthe previous movies, with the occasional car chase scene to remind youit's still a Fast & Furious movie (if all the returning faces aren'tenough to let you know). And it works. This is a really fun flick to watch in an "Ocean's Elevenmeets the gleeful carnage of a Michael Bay movie" kind of way that'sentertaining and ridiculously over-the-top. Fast Five is easily thebest movie of the series, and probably one of the most exciting moviesof the year. Dwayne Johnson is a perfect addition to the cast and hisconfrontations with Diesel's character is among the many highlights ofthe film, plus it's good to see the old cast members back in action. Ifyou want an action romp that breezes by without getting to serious,looks slick, and just doesn't know what it means to slow down, thiswill give you all you need and more.

One of the BEST that my MONEY CAN GET in terms of CAR SPECIAL EFFECTS and EXCITEMENT

When I first saw its trailer in the theatre, I thought it's going to be another bad sequence. How wrong I was! I have watched Fast Five both in the theatre and at home. Every time, I was absolutely entertained. That's the feeling I haven't got for a long time after watching action films. The excitement is non-stop from the beginning till the end. I'm sorry, I can't go into details here. Otherwise, it will ruin your excitement. The special effects with cars are the best that I've ever seen so far. Especially, in the last scene where 2 cars pulled the vault into the street. Of course, I had to suppress my logic to enjoy the movie. If you like action scenes with cars, you don't want to miss this one.In short, this is the best of all action sequences. It's also one of the BEST that my MONEY CAN GET. I own a DVD copy of it.

In a World Where Frictional Coefficients Don't Exist

Vin Diesel is busted out of prison and is reunited with his sister Jordana Brewster (who I fell in love with in D.E.B.S.) and her bf Paul Walker in Rio, the most recognized skyline in the world. They are bad guys stealing cars off a train. As things turned out, these were cars seized by the Brazilian DEA, who for some reason unlike their American counterparts don't disable the vehicles. Due to infighting, the effort is partially botched and Vin Diesel and Walker end up as captives of a Rio mobster. They discover he wants one of the cars back real bad. After they escape they dismantle the car to find out way. Meanwhile Dwayne Johnson comes down from the US to take back Vin Diesel. It seems the US has jurisdiction in Brazil, but hey its a movie. From a chip in the vehicle, Vin Diesel discovers that the crime boss has money stored in various cash houses throughout the city. Walker and Vin Diesel assemble a Mission Impossible team to go after the cash. They attack the first cash house and burn the money which forces the mobster to relocate all his eggs into one basket. As it turns out, that basket is inside the evidence safe at the police station, making the task of that one last hit a bit more difficult. At this point the movie takes a few interesting twists and turns.The plot contains numerous implausibilities as does most Mission Impossible action movies, vehicles that can bust through concrete walls (that never use rebar), and don't even scratch the head lights. The ending will keep Myth Busters busy for a season.
