I watched “The Fast and the Furious” some years ago, and found it to be pretty stupid and mildly entertaining, but not enough to compel to me keep up with the all the sequels since then. I just don’t get that excited about muscle-y guys or muscle-y cars. So I can’t say much about all the other FF movies out there, but I’ll go ahead and go out on a limb: this one’s better than any of them.
Or maybe I just think it’s better because it’s scrapped the “we are more manly than you because we drive cars faster than you do” formula and actually put those fast cars to a decent use. ”Fast Five” is probably the most formulaic of the series, but it’s a formula I like: it’s a heist film. Vin Deisel and co. have gone all “Ocean’s 11.”
