Fast Five (2011)
Fast Five (2011)
2011 | Action, Drama, Mystery
The point at which the Fast and the Furious movies started moving more and more away from their petrol head origins - as exemplified by the cut from pre-race to after race roughly halfway through, instead of showing that actual race - while also the movie that first brings Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson to the cast, as Luke Hobbs.

This one picks up directly from the ending of the previous movie, and starts with O'Connor and Mia on the run from the law, ending up in Rio de Janeiro where they get pulled into another 'one last job' (and you know how those always go ...), leading to them reuniting with Dom, assembling a 'crew', and then onto a heist that very much put me in mind of 'The Italian Job'!

The second in Charles Kindinger's 'Moriarty' series of Sherlock Holmes re-imaginings, positing what if Sherlock was an imposter and Moriarty an innocent man driven to a life of crime by the former, which - I have to say - I did not find *quite* as enjoyable as the first.

It also took me a wee while to get used to the recasting of the role of Colonel Sebastian Moran - not to say that the actor was bad, by any means, just that he sounded different.

Anyway, this time round, the story starts in the United States, following both Moriarty and Sherlocks death at the Reichenbach Falls, before - in the latter half - moving back to Merrie Olde Englande - with a new nemesis in the form of Helen Mirren's blackmailer Lady Milverton.
