Virag's Movie Reviews: Fast Five (2011)

This one was easily the peak of the franchise, such as it is.  By this time, Vin Diesel has firmly decided he likes money, and The Rock is so friggin' happy with himself because somebody told him he was the star power in this thing.  The Rio stuff looks okay in this, and the return of so-much-better-than-you-would-think Matt Schulze is welcome--now I bet he wishes his character had lived since the studio is gonna do its best to crap out another four or five of these as fast as possible (hah!), Paul Walker or no.  Learning by rote is still learning.
