Fast five who is the ghost




















Customs agent who worked undercover as an assistant for Argentinean drug lord Carter Verone. She currently works for the Diplomatic Security Service.

Fuentes has been working undercover for nearly a year when Brian O'Conner and Roman Pearce are brought in. She develops feelings for Brian, but earns Roman's mistrust. Monica later warns Brian that after a mission Verone has assigned them, he intends to kill them.

She blows her cover by telling Brian about the airstrip, being the one person Verone notified about it. She is then taken captive aboard his boat, but Brian and Roman jump their Camaro onto the boat, allowing Brian to shoot Verone, injuring his arm, while Monica holds him at gunpoint. After taking Verone into custody, she forces Roman to admit he trusts her now, and says goodbye, giving Brian a meaningful look as she walks away.

And yet it all plays with accessibility, even with more success than the MCU. When our crew flings cars into other cars to drag a big vault down the street, or when Paul Walker jump-punches jump-punches!! Somehow, they all feel bound by the earth; somehow, they all feel as free as possible. Fast Five also, despite the joy-bordering-on-camp appreciation the franchise receives even in this very piece, digs into some deeper character motivations, political positions, and interrogations of systems in ways we see shades of in other action flicks in its wake, though never to quite as explicit a degree.

Fast Five believes in the muckraking individual triumphing over the crushing system, the power of the people triumphing over the power of the oppressor.

But it also feels light, joyful, incisive, emotional, and fully intentional. Fast Five was, and is, such a successful piece of work that every blockbuster in its wake has just been trying to fulfill its mission, trying to follow its GPS narrated by a particularly gravelly-voiced Siri. Gregory Lawrence aka Greg Smith is a writer, director, performer, songwriter, and comedian.

He loves pizza and the Mortal Kombat movie. When he returns to the group to tell Dom what he learned, Dom says he doesn't even want to know. Essentially, Brian risked his life for nothing. An awesome sequence with a tank on a highway gets super dark when you realize the film's villain is casually killing people as he drives recklessly over vehicle after vehicle without blinking an eye or anyone ever bringing it up. I thought Braga was going to be the worst villain in the "Fast Saga" until Otto, described in production notes as a "flamboyent aspiring autocrat," showed up and said, "Hold my beer.

Trailers make you believe Cipher Charlize Theron is the real villain of the film and she likely will be moving forward , but she's disappointingly sidelined most of the movie for a character who wasn't even good enough to appear on a poster for the film. It's like Universal knew Otto wasn't a great villain.

If you suspend your disbelief for the film's two-hour, minute running time, it's kind of glorious, but that's a bit tough to do at times. Han's return and Brian's absence are explained away so quickly that those two plot points almost don't seem believable. If you can get past those flaws, "F9" delivers what fans really came here to see: massive action sequences. Every single one is satisfying so long as you don't question the physics. Though far from the best of the franchise, there's still a lot to love, and that's why it ranks almost right in the center of this list.

Other highlights include Mia and Letty's long-awaited teamup on screen and Queenie's Helen Mirren awesome car chase. One of the best things "F9" does other than bring Han back is go back in time and create more of an origin story for Dom. For eight films, we've always heard about how Dom went to jail after his father died. Here, the franchise finally dives deep into the character's past to introduce a brother we never knew Dom had.

For fans who have struggled with an estranged family member, it's immensely relatable. Two emotional nods to Paul Walker's character also earn this film some points. You can read our full review here. If you wanted to see more of Hobbs and Shaw together after their prison fight in "Fate of the Furious," the film more than delivers with the two bickering and pranking each other throughout the film as they reluctantly team up to save the world.

While the Rock and Statham shine in every scene they're in together, it's two unexpected surprise cameos that make the film unforgettable. The film also manages to improve on Hobbs' character. In the recent "Fast" flicks, he was reduced a bit to a guy who had a lot of silly one-liners. He doesn't really get any of those here, and it's immensely refreshing.

But as fun as " Hobbs and Shaw " is, the film is weighed down a bit by venturing into the sci-fi genre. Idris Elba is a great addition as a villain, but the idea of a cybergenetically enhanced superhuman who, along with an evil global organization, trying to destroy the human race is a bit silly. He feels like a "Terminator" or Superman villain and you just can't help but wonder what movie you're watching at times.

After all, this franchise started with illegal street racing. Now, it simply features some fast and cool cars. Though not as big as anything in "Fast Five" or "Furious 7," the fight sequences and car chases are still a lot of fun to watch. They're so fun that they feel like they should serve as the inspiration for some new theme park rides. You can read our review here.

That's largely in part because the film flips the franchise on its head. After Dom's team has been recruited for the last several films to help take down the bad guys, the "Fast" family is forced to hunt down Dom when he seemingly goes rogue. While it's a great idea in theory — you know the entire time that Dom isn't really turning his back on family — it's frustrating to watch Dom seemingly play a villain while his team is unaware of his true motives.

It's equally frustrating to watch the franchise hero appear defeated as he's being forced to do things against his will by Charlize Theron's cyber terrorist villain. Here's where the franchise stalls a bit creatively without the franchise's second lead, Paul Walker, who died in As Roman notes in the film, Brian Walker would have known what to do when Dom went rogue.

The problem is, as the audience knows, there's sadly no Brian to call. It doesn't help when "Fate" adds in the handsome Scott Eastwood to seemingly take Brian's place in the crew. But he's no Brian. Without a second-in-command to really guide the team in Dom's absence, everyone's just trying to hold it together. Let's be real. Dom would have never let Roman drive an orange Lamborghini on ice in Russia without snow tires.

The saving grace of the film is the final 30 minutes or so when Dom is finally allowed to break free of the chains that were holding him back throughout the film.
