Furious 7: Seven Movies and They Finally Got It Right…
Hello everybody, we have perhaps the only Fast and Furious film I like, Furious 7.
FURIOUS 7
DIRECTED: James Wan
STARRING: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Kurt Russell, Jason Statham

Dominic Torretto and his crew thought they left the criminal mercenary life behind. They defeated an international 
terrorist named Owen Shaw and went their seperate ways. But now, Shaw’s brother, Deckard Shaw is out killing the crew one by one for revenge. Worse, a Somalian terrorist called Jakarde, and a shady government official called “Mr. Nobody” are both competing to steal a computer terrorism program called God’s Eye, that can turn any technological device into a weapon. Torretto must reconvene with his team to stop Shaw and retrieve the God’s Eye program while caught in a power struggle between terrorist and the United States government.
Alright everyone, the apocalypse has happened. I actually enjoyed watching a Fast and Furious movie. I know I know, I should have known better. Anyway Furious 7, which I wish I could say is the last Fast and Furious film, was actually incredibly entertaining. The stunts were even more ridiculous this time around, most notably during a major 
rescue scene (no spoilers though). The soundtrack again was also top notch, with a blend of electronic, Latin, and hip hop.
Now to my favorite part, lets tear Furious 7 apart. The acting, just like the rest of the series, was quite sub par. I do want to call out to Vin Diesel and give him props. Who stood from the convoluted crowd as I genuinely felt the pain that he suffered after Paul Walker’s demise. While retiring his character was the right thing to do, I felt they could have done it differently. Amazing tribute to the standout actor of the series.
PROS:
- Vin Diesel Performance.
- Paul Walker Tribute.
- Stunts.
- Soundtrack.
CONS:
- Remaining cast performances.
- Lack of street racing,
- Ridiculous plot.
SCORE: 6.5/10
