Media Studies - Fast and Furious 5 review - Lewis Brown

Fast and Furious, arguably (in my opinion) the most popular action film series there is. Fast and furious had a lot of hype to live up to due to the success and the quality of the past films. In my opinion this film went above and beyond the already high expectations of the public. it is the best fast and furious film there is.

The General Plot

The story line is a simple but exciting one, Dom (who is played by Vin Diesel) is broke out of prison by his sister Mia (who is played by Jordana Brewster) and Brian O'Connor (who is played by Paul Walker). The 3 then flee to Rio De Janeiro in Brazil where they are met by the most wanted, most powerful and richest man in the whole of Rio, Hernan Reyes. Reyes is not happy with the 3 and tries to kill them. while all this is happening the FBI have called in a high tier agent. Agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). Long story short the 3 main characters and Hobbs team up to take out Reyes and every bit of money he has got. So the 3 characters recruit a team and set up to take down Reyes.

The Cinematography

The director uses multiple establishing shots throughout to give us a cinematic experience. However he also uses a balance of tracking shots where the camera is constantly moving to make us feel as if we are right in the heart in the action. This makes it more realistic and brings us closer to the characters and the action. The director also uses a lot of music in the background to futherly imply the meaning of the situation eg. intense music is introduced during the ambush scene

Overall i personally think that this is the best fast and furious ever made and i would strongly reccomend this to anyone who enjoys action films.
Rating: 10/10
