Dwight Brown

National Newspaper Publishers Association

From the opening, adrenalin-pumping prison bus escape to a heart-pounding car theft aboard a fast-moving train, Fast Five throws it down from the jump.

Rated: 3.5/4

Jason Bailey

Flavorwire

Each movie has two very good action scenes, usually at either end, but then about an hour and a half of the most asinine tough-guy nonsense between them.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Finds the best balance of melodrama and absolute absurdity in the whole franchise, but still isn't something you'd call "good."

Rated: 2/5

Subculture Entertainment

As far as action films go Fast & Furious 5 is a stunner. If you see it on the big screen be prepared to be blown away by a film that puts every dollar of its budget to great use.

Rated: 4/5

These guys make robbing a mobster into a party game for criminal buddies who revel in the adrenaline rush of speed and psych-outs between the rubber and the road.

Fast Five doesn’t just raise the bar — it tears it down, straps it to a muscle car, and drags it through the streets of Rio. Director Justin Lin fully transforms the Fast & Furious saga from street-racing crime flick to full-blown heist blockbuster, and the result is a thrilling, turbo-charged spectacle that delivers on every cylinder. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead an all-star crew — including franchise favorites Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Sung Kang, and Gal Gadot — in a high-stakes job that pits them against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s relentless federal agent, Luke Hobbs. Johnson’s arrival injects pure adrenaline into the series, his showdown with Diesel easily ranking among the most electrifying brawls in modern action cinema. The film trades drag strips for daring heists and globe-trotting adventure, but never loses sight of the family dynamic that drives the franchise. Lin balances the humor, tension, and spectacle perfectly, with the jaw-dropping vault chase through Rio’s streets standing as a modern action classic. Verdict: Fast Five is the franchise firing on all pistons — bold, bombastic, and brilliantly executed. It’s the moment Fast & Furious evolves from cult favorite to global juggernaut, redefining what a “car movie” can be.

"Fast Five" is arguably the first in its franchise to take itself seriously, along with some creative and satisfyingly destructive car action, makes it the best installment yet.
