Review-Furious 7



Furious 7 is the latest installment in the Fast and the Furious movie franchise. Each film, of lately, has morphed into its own different type of movie. Furious 7 is unabashedly a revenge flick. The plot is revolves around the death of a character close to Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his "family". The person that is hunting his crew down is Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), the brother of Owen Shaw(Luke Evans) in Fast 6. Deckard is an ex Ops agent so dangerous that his own government tried to take him down with no such luck. His presence forces Dom and his crew out to find a way to stop his madness. Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) is still having issues remembering her past. Brian(the late Paul Walker) and Mia(Jordana Brewster) contemplate their next steps in their lives.  Tej (Ludacris) and Roman (Tyrese Gibson) join the crew ,which is led by Mr. Nobody(Kurt Russell), to locate Deckard's whereabouts before strikes. The movie is full of action and thrills but it has its issues as well. The villains in the movie are written as one note characters. Each big action scene is like a set up for the next location shoot instead of it setting up plot points. The script is all over the place at times and there is not much plot to tie it together. That been said, if you like action and like the other Fast and the Furious films, you will like this. There is a touching moment in the film that is worth watching. The movie also stars Dwayne  Johnson reprising his role as Hobbs.

Rating:8.0 out of 10
