Experience "Fast Five" at the SM IMAX Theatre

Synopsis

“Fast and Furious 5: Rio Heist”  is a film directed by Justin Lin, focusing on the plan of street racer and ex-convict Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel), former FBI agent Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker), and O’Connor’s love interest Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) to steal millions of U.S. dollars from corrupt businessman Hernan Reyes, played by Joaquim de Almeida.  The trio believe that their plan will help them gain their freedom if executed successfully. Knowing that such plan is arduous to accomplish, they form a team that will help them perform the heist, which includes actors Don Omar, Tego Calderón, Gal Gadot, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, and Sung Kang.

Most of the astounding scenes involve the team led by U.S. Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs, played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and the team composed of Reyes’ men that are both chasing Toretto’s group. Among the highlights of the film are the scene at a prison transport bus, the scene where Hobbs and local officer Elena Neves (Elsa Pataky) decide to join the heist team, and the scene where two cars being driven by O’Connor and Toretto are dragging a vault where Reyes’ money is stored.

Just like the previous Fast & Furious films, “Fast and Furious 5: Rio Heist” is packed with a stellar cast, impressive cars, and death-defying scenes.  However, Lin and writer Chris Morgan have done a great job in making the film better than the previous ones.

“Fast and Furious 5: Rio Heist” is released by United International Pictures through Solar Entertainment.
