106. Fast Five

                 Fast Five is the fifth! yes FIFTH! installment in the Fast and Furious movie franchise. If you think about franchises that make it to the fifth! yes FIFTH! movie that those movies are just no good. Either they are going the reboot route or its straight to dvd. But what you dont expect from the fifth! yes FIFTH! movie is for it to the BEST one in the franchise. But with Fast Five that is what you get. Believe it or not.
                  Fast Five picks up where Fast and Furious left off. With Vin Diesel's character Dom sentenced to prison only to be busted out in under 2 minutes into the movie. The gang, including Paul Walker, end up in Rio where they hatch a plan to take down the Crime boss that is running all of Rio. Joining them are some of your favorite characters from the past FF flicks such as Tyrese and Ludacris from 2fast and the extremely underrated Sung Kang from Tokyo Drift. Actually Drift is very underrated.
                 Like I said you wouldnt expect the fifth movie in a franchise to be the best but not only is this one the best, its the best by a LONG shot. This movie is very very good. The chase scene are top notch and creative. I also want to point out that this was directed by newcomer Justin Lin. Lin also directed the Paintball Episode from the TV Community which is hands down the best sitcom episode of any sitcom EVER. So even if you dont like the FF movies you might like this one. But yes, one thing stays the same......Diesel and Walker cant act.

Final Verdict: It will be the first one that we will one. Worth it. 

57. Takers

                 While the concept behind a move like Takers may be strong.--kind of like a modern, hip hop version of Ocean’s Eleven. The execution was lacking some.  It goes to show you again that Musicians/Rappers/Athletes etc should not be Actors and really vice versa.

           Takers is about a group of professionals whose sole job is to rob. They plan one job a year. SO basically every year they found a bank, jewelry store etc and “Take” from them.  The story base is set up when one of the crew that was imprisoned gets out and comes to the rest of the group with a “job” he found on the inside.  They take this job even though they know that it’s only been two days since their last job. If they were as smart as we are supposed to be taking this job makes no sense.

                The movie does star Hayden Christensen, of Darth Vader fame, as one of team’s explosives experts.  Hayden gets a nice scene where he goes all Anakin after his mom dies on a group of guys trying to do him wrong. This movie would just be a waste and not remembered if it wasn’t for one outstanding sequence in which the cops try to chase down one of the crew members who is an expert at Parkour or street running. That whole sequence is amazing and THE highlight to the film. 

Final Verdict: Maybe if the entire movie was all parkour I would own it.
