How does the fifth film in a previously-thought-dead franchise wind up being the biggest, best and perhaps most successful of the series? By being Fast Five, that's how. Oh, and also by having Justin Lin in the director's chair. Lin has been, ahem, steering the Fast and the Furious series ever since part three, Tokyo Drift. And his work on the oft-vapid series hits a zenith with Fast Five, a film that ups the excitement level, completely changes the tone and leaves audiences with one hell of a cliffhanger. Can Fast Six improve on this amaze-balls-ness? Probably not, but we'll be there on opening night just in case.
