This installment in the franchise is literally the best one so far. I loved this movie and watching it was a kick ass ride. This movie was better than i had expected it to be because it was action packed and had the awesome fight scene that i know everyone was stoked to see. Vin Diesel fighting Dwayne"The Rock" Johnson and seeing who wins. This film was explosive and electrifying and deserves some sort of recognition for putting the franchise back on point. The plot was nice and solid with bits and pieces of comedy and emotionality mixed in there. The plot to this action packed thrill ride is as follows. Vin Diesel playing Dominic Toretto with Paul Walker playing Brian O'Conner and Jordan Brewster playing Mia are on the run yet again since their last job in L.A. Dominic, O'Conner and Mia want to be free but are being chased down by a drug kingpin Reyes who wants a chip that was placed into a car that Dominic has stolen. This chip contains a delivery schedule and more important information which is why Reyes will go to any lengths to protect it. While being chased by a drug lord Dominic and his gang are also being followed by an elite squad of cops that are determined to bring Dominic in. The leader of the group is Hobbs played by Dwayne"The Rock"Johnson and Hobbs will stop at nothing to bring Toretto in. So with no other choice Dominic decides to pull on final job and get Reyes's life savings of 100 million dollars and take off but in order to do so he needs an elite group which is where he calls in every man he knows for the job. From there on the movie goes on about the heist and the police chasing them. The film had nonstop action from beginning to end and after watching it i wanted to watch it a second time. I might add that The Rock got really buff in this film and showed it with his fight with Dominic. The movie finally put the franchise back on track thanks to director Justin Lin. The cast was amazing with such characters such as Chris"Ludacris"Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Tego Calderon, Don Omar(Hispanic music icons),Matt Schulze, and Sung Kang. These movies are technically prequels to Fast and The Furious 3: Tokyo Drift because of the timeline. My favorite part of this movie was the scene in which Dominic and O'Conner were driving with the safe attached to the back of their cars demolishing anything in its way. This scene was amazing and i know it was hard to shoot. The film has explosive action and good amounts of comedy with drama mixed in their. This movie was loads of fun to watch and comes highly recommended from me if you enjoy the franchise.
