Fast Five.

Hiding out in Rio (seems to be a theme this year) our bad guy anti-heroic heroes find themselves in desperate need of cash. Taking what was supposed to be a simple job stealing some cars leads Dominic and Brian into over two hours of nonstop betrayal, shoot-em-ups, surprises, best laid plans laid to waste, the biggest score of their lives, and chased by local cops, DEA, The Rock, and Rio's crime lord.

I was a little confused at what was going on. Part of it was that I had only seen the first Five movie many years ago. So I didn't get the references to the previous movies. The the car stealing on the train also had me very confused. Dominic, Brian, and Mia thought they were stealing the cars from some playboy millionaire, but they were in possession of the DEA, for whatever reason Mia takes off with a car and Brian and Dominic are betrayed by the guys hired to help them because they are being paid by Reyes. The DEA agents are killed by Reyes's goons and The Rock thinks it was Dominic and Brian.

I think I got it.

No, I'm still a bit lost.

Any-hoo. This movie did tend to drag on because a lot of concentration was put on coming up with plans of attack just to see them thrown out. From stealing the cars, to collating the money, to winning fast cars that weren't fast enough, to stealing cop cars, just to have The Rock bust in at the last second and then Reyes makes a mistake of attacking The Rock as he was leaving with Reyes's headaches.

If they had just cut the obstacle course bit and went straight to stealing the cop cars, this would probably have been worth watching at full price.

Instead matinee.

Sure was nice to see The Rock in a movie that didn't tank after five fast minutes.

It's all my fault.

I admit it. I'm the one responsible. ME! ME! ME!

Recently Blogger went down. I had something to do with it. I guess it's my tendency to write these posts two and three weeks in advance that screws with Google's servers.

Totally me and no one else. Am I going to learn a lesson from all this? OF COURSE NOT! I'm going to see if I can do it again.

My Mom also said to always have a clean pair of underwear. And I do. Usually in the glove box.
