So we took kind of a long break from this series, probably because watching all 10 Fast and Furious movies is actually rather exhausting. Especially since I am a lover of the film medium and these movies are…not good. But we are back at it, halfway through with Fast Five. Now as far as I remember Fast Five is the first movie that The Rock appears in, and it has a pretty banging soundtrack but other than that I genuinely don’t remember this movie.

Overall this is the movie I would use to describe Fast and Furious movies to people. It has all of the very specific tropes of this franchise. We’ve got an overly long climactic scene. We’ve got Dom saying some shit about family at least 900 times. We’ve got the antagonist that was after the team eventually joining the team. We have Dom in a relationship with Elena with no buildup whatsoever and it makes absolutely no sense. And of course we have several racing scenes both shown and implied.
