IMDB Summary:

Dominic and his crew find themselves on the wrong side of the law once again as they try to switch lanes between a ruthless drug lord and a relentless federal agent.

Here's what I think:

I am not usually a fan of sequels.  Sometimes it just seems like they don't know when to stop, which is exactly what I thought when I heard that there would be another installment to the Fast & Furious. Don't get me wrong Paul Walker is a cutie and Vin Diesel is a beefcake, but I thought it was enough already.

Well as luck would have it, our local movie theater which plays movies for $4 bucks on Tuesdays and Thursdays, was showing Fast Five - so we went. It was actually pretty good. Major action, some of it was over the top, but I was captivated.  There were a few scenes that were downright stressful, which is a good thing.

The storyline was livable, there was a point. Not just a bunch of guys driving around in fast cars for 2 hours and 10 minutes. Which reminds me, I thought the movie was much longer than it needed to be and think there must have been scenes that didn't make the cut.

Ultimately, Fast Five was a great ride.  I would recommend it.
