When you reach the fifth installment in a series, it is time to pull out all the stops. That seems to be the route being taken in Fast Five, when characters from every installment of the Fast and Furious series return to destroy Brazil.

The Fast crew returns, this time to the streets of Rio de Janeiro. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his BFFs are targeting a corrupt Brazilian businessman, while they themselves are being chased by FBI Agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). The various groups then bend the laws of physics to pull off some incredible driving and fighting tricks.

Netflix has spent years telling the entertainment industry that binge-worthy originals and a simple user experience were enough to stay ahead.
