In case you were curious...
...knowledge of the prior movies is helpful but not required if you want to watch Fast Five (the 5th installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise).
...it's not a very good movie, but it has no illusions about what kind of movie it is.
...there were not as many car chase scenes as I was expecting.
...the movie ticks off every testosterone-soaked male bonding checkbox it can.

...Vin Diesel in a big punch-up with the Rock isn't thick with homoerotic subtext -- there's nothing subtle about it. The fact they didn't do that "we're fighting and now we're kissing" thing was probably to hold something back for the DVD special edition.
Eh, I pick on it but I've seen much, much worse and, like I say, the movie knows what it is and does it's very best to be just that.
