On August 19, 2011, I saw Final Destination 5 with Jake and Justin. Now going in you know that you can expect gruesome scenes and things of that nature. I enjoyed this installment and the only other ones I actually liked were the original and the third one. The story begins with Sam played by Nicholas D'Agosta who has a premonition as he and a group of employees on a retreat are crossing a bridge under construction. This is the second time there's been a male who has the premonition since Alex Browning in the original. The supporting cast were mostly unknowns which is fine because big name actors can take away from a movie like this. The death scenes in this really make you cringe. WARNING: Be aware of the gymnastics scene!! In my opinion, that is the most cringeworthy death in the ENTIRE series and there's been some bad ones. The story flowed pretty well and the acting wasn't horrendous like the last movie which was so terrible. It wasn't Oscar worthy acting, but the cast did a decent job in their own right and it's not meant to be an acting movie in general anyway. Molly played by Emma Bell was the best acting wise and i could see her getting some roles in the future. Keep your eyes open for little details throughout the movie as they can help to show where the ending will take place. I think it's a brilliant ending and really thought it was smart. It was a perfect twist and really brings everything full circle. I'll give it a 3/5, but the movie is worth seeing as I liked what they did with this installment in terms of twists, making you cringe (again beware the gymnastics scene), and a decent story to begin with. I would reveal some more plot points but then it takes away from what I said about subtle hints. You may even be able to guess the ending from the first pieces of dialogue but when it gets to the end, it's pretty awesome.
