Fast and Furious with an Asian spin

Taiwan-born director Justin Lin reunites Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster in Fast Five, the fifth installment of the The Fast and the Furious series, which will hit theaters in China on May 12, two weeks after its US premiere.

The film marks Lin's third involvement in the action series after The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift in 2006 and Fast and Furious 4 in 2009.

In the new chapter, former policeman Brian (Walker), ex-convict Dominic (Diesel) and Brian's lover Mia (Brewster) make their way further south to Brazil, hiding out in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. They have to fulfill their biggest task yet, to earn their freedom, even as federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) assembles his team of top cops, whose sole mission is to capture the trio.
