In 1978, Richard Donners Superman made you believe a man could fly. Justin Lins Fast And Furious 5 will make you believe a bus can roll without injuring anyone inside, that a man can be punched through a solid brick wall and still come out the other side with his shirt still gleaming white and intact, and that its possible to surf on the back of a falling muscle car. Well, almost.
Fast And Furious 5 has absolutely no regard for realism, but then again, anyone whos watched the previous four car-crazy, largely plot-free films will know that the series has never had much time for physics or logic.
Following a dramatic prison break (which, naturally enough, requires the skillful manipulation of powerful cars), Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) Brian OConnor (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) are on the run in Rio, hiding out in the citys seedier quarters as hulking agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) attempts to track them down.
