What to Expect : Just like it says on the cover there, it's the BEST in the SERIES. No kidding, it actually is. The action is fast and furious like it's always been, but there's a sense of genuine excitement that wasn't really there before. The addition of Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock, to the already consistent ensemble cast and the high-stakes heist plot make for a deliriously entertaining ride. Not bad for a number five installment in a franchise.
