Fast Five is one of the best movies ever made. Up there with Citizen Kane and Lawrence of Arabia. Still had some connection to the original Fast and the Furious story in it, didn't get TOO far out there with the crazy stunts, and the way they brought in the Rock and his face turn towards the end, they nailed that. And that fuckin safe heist at the end holy shit. Not having Michelle Rodriguez's ugly ass in the film is a big plus too. Definitely the apex of the series. But after that, yeah, they fall off pretty fast.
