Résumés(1)
Depuis que Brian et Mia Toretto ont extirpé Dom des mains de la justice, ils ont dû franchir de nombreuses frontières pour échapper aux autorités. Retirés à Rio, ils sont contraints de monter un dernier coup pour se faire blanchir et recouvrer leur liberté. Ils se constituent une équipe d'élite, réunissant les pilotes les plus avertis, conscients que leur seule chance d'être acquittés pour bonne conduite nécessite une confrontation avec l'homme d'affaires véreux qui souhaite les voir morts. Mais il n'est pas le seul à leurs trousses. L'impitoyable agent fédéral Luke Hobbs n'a jamais loupé sa cible. Affecté à la traque des fugitifs, lui et son équipe de choc élaborent un implacable dispositif d'assaut destiné à les capturer. Passant le Brésil au crible, Hobbs réalise combien la frontière qui sépare les bons des méchants est ténue. Il doit alors s'en remettre à son instinct pour acculer ses proies et éviter qu'un autre ne les débusque avant lui. (Universal International FR)

La série passe d'une exposition de tuning pour adolescents à une décharge d'action pure, où le rugissement des moteurs est étouffé par la canonnade des mitrailleuses et des fusils de chasse. Une équipe d'acolytes bien coordonnée en action, la jungle sauvage de Rio de Janeiro, un scénario étonnamment nourrissant et ambitieux qui éclipse le film controversé Bad Boys II (avec lequel il partage beaucoup de similitudes thématiques). Et surtout, un coup de maître avec le casting de Dwayne Johnson, qui élève le film à son paroxysme de testostérone. Dans un film de 130 minutes, nous avons ici trois gangs de durs à cuire se faisant face avec des voitures géniales et de gros flingues, entourés de femmes sexy. Que pourrions-nous demander de plus dans le genre?

This is the most honest bit of action in the last couple of seasons. After the demolitions of the digital Englishmen, the real stunt cars began to be destroyed at such a pace that Hollywood insurance people must have jumped out of their skin when they finally saw it. Lin manned up like few before him and fueled the tried-and-true blend of all the previous films, topping it off with the necessary octane by casting The Rock. Luke Hobbs, an overgrown, muscular beast, is brought in by an army transport special, and all hell breaks loose in a way that we would have looked for in vain in films that were originally about tuning, lots of nitro, and asses in tight shorts. Catchphrases can be heard all the time, there are some great action inserts, and then there is the fight we’ve wanted since Sylvester Stallone was rolled up by Steve Austin. The Diesel vs. Johnson fight is a physical bulldozer that breaks tables, knocks down walls, and still manages to exude that manly anger that such duels often lack. It all culminates in an action-packed ride through Rio de Janeiro that will have you running around like you did a year and a half ago in "Modern Warfare 2." An overflowing genre box. A regular aspirant for the Top 5 blockbusters of the year and a compliment to Lin. The Terminator idea suddenly looks very promising.

An action-packed western with Rio instead of the Wild West, fast cars instead of horses and a drug kingpin instead of a railroad tycoon (the opening jump/fall into the water can be understood as picking up where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid left off). The family subtext is needless and the action scenes are, to put it kindly, ridiculous, but if for no other reason (such as Gal Gadot), the heavy-duty confrontation between Diesel and the Rock prompts me to gladly forgive the film for its clumsy dialogue and disrespect for the laws of physics. A smarter spectacle would have come at the cost of leaving out the scene in which a ten-tonne safe attached to two racing cars cheerfully demolishes the streets of the Brazilian metropolis. Either take Fast Five with all of its testosterone-fuelled theatricality or forget that it even exists. 80%

The first film of the franchise that I watch, attracted by the very good reviews. What I got was precisely what I expected: very well made silliness. Some of the one-liners are funny, some are ridiculous. The action is pretty brutal, you can really feel the style and the energy, even if (especially by the end) it felt a little physically fairytale-like. It’s a watchable film and one of the best in the “summer action nonsense” category.

Hands down, the best episode of the series. Unfortunately, the overwrought pivotal action scene at the end, with a half demolished Rio and a massive vault behind two bulldozers, was too far beyond the edge of acceptability for my taste. And when they open their mouths in the non-action passages and the characters spout life's truths and wisdoms, even Mrs. Cliché and Stupidity run to hide behind the camera in terror, it was really hard to listen to. Thanks at least for Dwayne's character of Agent Hobbs, because you can never have enough of The Rock and his fist fight with Diesel, when the surrounding walls were collapsing like styrofoam backdrops, brought me out of my lethargy.
