I was really disappointed with the fourth film in this series so I had low expectations for this one but it shocked me because it was actually really good and had some intelligence in the script.  This wasnt just another cars screaming around a city.  The main characters, and even a couple of the minor ones had a good growth through out the film.  The cars were, well yeah pukka as you would expect.  What made this film truly stand out from the last couple of let downs in this franchise is Dwayne Johnson.  Paul Walker and Vin Diesel are both good and the characters still work well with each other but Johnson brought in a tension that the other films did not really have because there was a recognisable enemy for them.  The film ‘The Fugitive’ would not have worked as well as it id did if it was not for Tommy Lee Jones and this is the same.  Johnson gives the film another view-point and having him in it must have added appeal for the viewer. 

If you do watch this film make sure you watch it right to the end.
