For ten years since the first one showing in 2001, The Fast and the Furious franchise is among the best pick among car enthusiasts because of its high-speed races that pits them straight to their bucket seats, making this the ultimate high-speed action thriller car enthusiasts would love to watch. For the franchise's 10th anniversary, Universal Pictures unveiled Fast Five, the fifth installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise.

This fifth installment centers on former undercover cop Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) and street racing ex-convict Dom Torretto (Vin Diesel) as they venture on the beautiful scenery of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, as they tried to pull off the ultimate million dollar bank robbery. This heist is not enough for the two of them and they're going to need a lot of help with their old friends from the previous Fast and Furious movies, most were played by Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Gal Gadot. This ultimate bank robbery that will set them free forever. However, there is trouble when a ruthless federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) chases down Brian and Dom through Brazil because both Brian and Dom are branded criminals. However, the only way to stop the real enemy relies within those two. The real enemy is none other than the drug lord who controls the trade in Rio named Hernan Reyes (Joaquin De Almeida).

High jumps, car chases, the vault heist done by the old Charger sedans, Dom's 900 horsepower Charger Coupe rides again, what's inside Dom's garage, and 2011 Charger Cop Cars hijacked by the gang for some quarter mile drag race, this is how hot Fast Five is. There are other cars featured in Fast Five as well including the Nissan R35 GT-R, Nissan Z33 Fairlady Z, the legendary Ford GT, Dom's Charger coupe, two old Charger sedans painted in matte black for the vault heist, latest-generation Dodge Charger in Rio de Janeiro Police livery, and (gasp) the Lexus LFA. There are so many souped up cars, of tuners, muscles, and exotics, featured in Fast Five. Which is your favorite?

Expect everything that will made Fast Five as thrilling as a 100-octane car. Those who loved the Fast and Furious franchise may going to love it even more in celebration of the franchise's 10th year that keeps thrill-seeking car enthusiasts expect more, feel more, see more. This is going to be an edge-of-your-bucket-seats excitement!

Watch your backs!
