the movie itself is fifth in the franchise. they've made over $2 billion with the first four films. it's directed by christopher who won the nominee. it's a great action movie but has characters you care about. that scene you see with the plane is not the best scene in the film. there's an underwater scene. i'm talking action scenes that will blow your mind. i've seen it twice now. i highly recommend if you're an action fan. i give it four and a half out of five. you don't need to see the other four to watch it. it's a stand-alone. if you saw the fourth one where he's walking on the building, that was really him a mile and a half in the air. i heard reports he actually fired his insurance company so he could do that stunt. it's insane what he's doing with these action movies.
