Just came back from watching The Fast And The Furious 5. In a nutshell, it a Ocean's 11 with a lot more octane and a lot less brain cells. Perfect movie for when you want to live your brain down at the cinema candy bar.
I did like how they where breaking away from the illegal street racing scene plot hook which has been down to death in the last 4 films. The ending chase scene was a lot more satisfying compared to number 4. However like 4th film, there was not as much car action as compared with the first 3 films.
They are also trying to bring characters and plots all the previous films together (with the exception of Tokyo Drift as Han is still alive). If any thing you want to be familiar with First and Forth films before seeing this one.
BTW, watch the end credits as there is a easter egg opening the idea of a 6th installment for this franchise . And I do hope they go ahead with that.
Over all, I enjoyed it.
