'Fast Five' Trailer

Pretty good article over at getthebigpicture.net:

I have a love-hate relationship with The Fast and the Furious franchise. I guess it's more of a hate-love thing, because I hate that I love these movies. I can't help but watch the first film in its entirety anytime it's on TV, 2 Fast 2 Furious is one of my guilty pleasures, and I was pleasantly surprised with Justin Lin's gritty take in the 4th installment.

That being said, it's really hard to be upset with the overkill that is the franchise's fifth film, Fast Five (alliteration, yo!). Today we got the film's first trailer, and it's not half bad.

If it weren't for the dead giveaway that is Vin Diesel's voice, the first half of this trailer doesn't resemble anything close to a Fast and Furious film. It just looks like some gritty South American crime drama. Then around the 1 minute mark we see the cars and everything becomes oh so clear.

The other thing going for Fast Five is its cast. It's like everyone who has been in any of the Fast and Furious films ever (and whose character is still alive) is back for this film, with the addition of The Rock. Justin Lin, the director of the last two sequels, is once again at the helm.

Fast Five races into theaters (yeah, I said it) on April 29, 2011.
