The Trailer for Fast Five Confirms That It Will Make a Ton of Money

When we last checked in with Fast Five -- Universal's summer kick-off extravaganza of exploding cars and biceps -- things looked a little underwhelming. After all, how many cars could one watch explode before falling asleep from boredom? Judging from the new theatrical trailer for the film, that figure might place somewhere near infinity.

If you're the type of person upset by the fact that Michael Bay doesn't make balls-out action movies anymore -- like Bad Boys, and the immortal Bad Boys 2 -- then perhaps Fast Five can ease your pain. The new trailer is Bruckenheimer-ian in its layout and premise: Think Ocean's 11 by way of Gone in 60 Seconds (the remake, natch) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but with exploding cars instead of horses. That director Justin Lin seems to be doing his best Bay impression -- or perhaps his best Simon West impression -- is only gravy. Fast Five went from looking "eh" to looking like the biggest, loudest and dumbest action movie of the year. That's a good thing.

VERDICT: Vroooooom!
