It was in the middle of my exams period when my friend, Ayu Dyani, came over to SG with her mom. I surprised with her sudden visit but apparently I managed asking her to get some stuffs for me that I can not get easily in SG i.e. chewing gum. :)
Lucky her, she came when there was public holiday in SG: Deepavali, so we can watch a late midnight movie because I only can watch after my intern work. FYI, currently Indonesia does not show such big Hollywood movies due to tax issues by the companies who hold the copyright in distributing the movies on cinemas (details here).
When we reached Cineleisure Orchard, we saw the only available movie that we wanted to watch is Fast Furious 5. As the title said, it is sequel #5, so I am a bit curious whether there is relation between this sequel and the previous one (Fast Furious 4).
Apparently, there is relations between the latest sequel and the previous one and here we go when I thought I have not watched the previous sequel before! But the fact is I watched it before after I saw the cast faces (I have terrible memory for names, visual FTW!).
Basically, what is Fast Furious 5 about then? Below is the summary that I take online:
Former cop Brian O'Conner partners with ex-con Dom Toretto on the opposite side of the law. Since Brian and Mia Toretto broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he's not the only one on their tail. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can't separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey... before someone else runs them down first.
With the stars rating 7.7 out of 10 from IMDb website, this is one of the must watch movie in your list for 2011! Especially with their nicer story plot that I think they might be inspired by Leverage TV Series. Yes, they do some kind of con-artist scenes!
For those who would like to check out the trailer:
