Furious 7 is
the latest and probably the best movie so far in The Fast & Furious
franchise. In Furious 7 Jason Stratham plays Shaw, a black ops, covert super
spy who is out for revenge after Dom’s (Vin Diesel) crew put his little brother
in the hospital on their last Fast and Furious romp through the country of
England. Shaw is hell bent on killing the entire team and he proves it by beginning
with Han (Sung Kang) in Tokyo and making plans to knock off the rest of Dom’s “family”
one by one.
The movie
starts off with a bang (literally) as Shaw delivers a package to Dom’s front
porch in L.A. with a bomb that blows up his home and endangers everyone he
cares about. So Diesel and the entire crew saddle up to settle the score with
the bad guy. That’s about the entire plot you need to know. The rest of the movie
is filled with car chases, explosions and action stunts that are out of this
world. The movie will leave you breathless and on the edge of your seat. The
stunts in Furious 7 easily out rank anything you’ve seen in any previous Fast
& Furious movie.
There is
also the sentimental theme of the movie that we are all aware of before the
movie begins; the tragic passing of Paul Walker. Furious 7 has a few tender
moments that tear at your heart when you think about the fact that the actor died
in a tragic car crash in real life. There are also some bonus scenes of Walker
at the end of the movie (so, don’t get up and leave too early).
Furious 7 is
also shot in some exotic locations, like Abu Dhabi and Japan, and features lots
of exotic fast cars, some smoking hot beautiful women and, of course, the testosterone
fueled cast is all back including Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese, Vin Diesel and
Ludacris.
The movie is
rated PG-13 for scenes of intense violence, mayhem, and strong language. It is
a non-stop, action packed thriller that keeps your attention for the entire 137
minutes of the film. Furious 7 is a fitting final tribute to a beloved actor
and it’ll make even the strongest man in the audience shed a tear or two to his
memory. On my “Hollywood Popcorn Scale” Furious 7 is a JUMBO!
