Review of Furious 7 (2015) by Sonny H — 22 Dec 2015

An action packed film where the impossible is possible. The plot of this film, well there really isn't a plot it's just great action sequences compiled into one film, if I did try and give you a ploy it could spoil the film but all I will say is "Deckard Shaw" wants revenge on the crew who "crippled" his brother.

This film was helmed by James Wan who directed horror films like Saw and The Conjuring and his transition from horror films to action is fantastic, the action was shot perfectly, especially the car chases.

he also doesn't rely on the dreaded shaky cam. the actors all do a great job; Vin Diesel did a standard job but near the end you could really feel the emotion coming from him. Paul Walker did his best performance in this film, there was a moment where he is talking to his wife where he is talking about how they first met and it really shows Paul Walkers acting chops (also watch "Hours" with Paul walker).

Jason Statham is easily the most awesome and badass villains in the Fast and Furious Franchise, he just brings such a good presence with his British accent and hard man look. The ending is what people want to know about and it is one of the very few times where I nearly cried, the song in the background "see you again" pulled at the heart strings, the symbolism of the cars drifting away and the speech by Vin Diesel just makes it one of the best but saddest scenes in the entire Fast and Furious Franchise.

I give this film 8/10.
