Movies that feel likeFast Five (2011)

Former cop Brian O'Conner partners with ex-con Dom Toretto on the opposite side of the law. Since Brian and Mia Toretto broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom.

If you loved Fast Five, the closest films we have are Den of Thieves (2018), Ronin (1998) and Dhoom 2 (2006). All three share Fast Five's kinetic and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is RocknRolla (2008).
