Final Destination 5 (2011)
Country: US/CAN
Technical: col/2.35:1 92m
Director: Steven Quale
Cast: Nicholas D'Agosto, Emma Bell, Miles Fisher
Synopsis:
Survivors of a suspension bridge disaster that ought to have claimed their lives soon discover they cannot cheat Death, even by killing someone else.
Review:
This increasingly cynical franchise toys capriciously with its audience's expectations and even revises the rulebook when it suits. At least one of the deaths packs a body blow worthy of the name 'drama', and it is a gratifyingly brisk ride, but the rest just elicits a cluck or a chortle. The closing montage of series 'highs' says it all.
