Optimism springs eternal. I went to the third Fast and the Furious movie with the deeply held conviction that it had to be better than 2 Fast 2 Furious (or whatever that misbegotten turd of a second movie was called). I was right, but "better" do...

Ever since Justin Lin took control of The Fast and the Furious franchise with installment #3, he has pushed things in new and sometimes daring directions. With Fast Five, he not only melds balls-to-the-wall comic book action with heist movie dynam...
