Furious 7 Review

There is no need to review a movie like the Fast and Furious series. We know what to expect as the audience is way too familiar with what is in store with high voltage stylish action and car chases. The seventh of the series is no different, the only notable aspect is of course we are missing actor Paul Walker. But in the movie the case is not so as the makers have covered up everything in the storyline and screenplay so that his character makes his presence felt and makes a lasting impression. James Wan has succeeded in satisfying fans of Fast and Furious series with a high voltage action film that has everything you want and experienced right from the first part. An action movie with an emotional touch, that's how I will summarise the seventh part.
Dominic Torreto and his gang are leading a normal and silent life quite different from what they are in US after defeating Owen Shaw. But their normal life is short lived as the big bad brother of Owen, Deckard Shaw comes up before them and started acting as a thawn in their life killing one among them. Before things go in for a worse, Torreto, Brian O'Connor and rest of the crew reach out to Ian to settle things in a way they are familiar with.
The proceedings are too fast except may be the first twenty minutes or so and once things start to unwind, there is no time to relax. Action is at its best with good cuts to give a sleak look. I saw the 3D version and would have preferred the 2D one as the scope for a three dimensional view was very limited.
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Chris Bridges and the rest continued their form from where they left off in the previous version. Dwayne Johnson was equally good but with limited screen presence. Jason Statham the new entrant to the series as the main antagonist was the show stealer for me. Bollywood actor Ali Fazal (3 Idiots fame) makes a cameo.
Overall the last ride of the Furious gang definitely live up to the hype and satisfy each and every fan of the Fast and Furious series and this time it is more of an emotional drive with Paul Walker missing us and with the franchise with the current stars coming to an end we will miss rest of the gang as well.
A well deserved emotional dedication to Paul Walker is added right at the fag end which you should not miss. I am going with three and a half out of five for James Wan's Furious 7. Go for it!!!
Rating - 3.5 / 5
