First of all, I’m a big fan of the series. And after watching the ending of the movie, you can weep from inside as Vin Diesel bids adieu to Paul Walker, who died on November, 13. It’s an emotional ending which will be with you after you leave the theatre. But in case you’re new to the series, this won’t matter. For newcomers, the movie will be a action packed full of cars, stunts, and some over the top action.
The story starts fresh from where Fast and Furious 6 ended. The team of Dominic Toretto are back to their home. Owen Shaw, the villain of the last installment is badly wounded, and his brother Deckerd Shaw, played by Jason Stathom, pledged for revenge.
Shaw attacks DSS and Hobbs. The team is back to LA and Han to Tokyo, where he is killed by Shaw, connecting the series back to Tokyo Drift. And an attack occur in their house, where Brian O’Conner is live with his son and Mia. Dom follows the clue and to Hobb, where he got to know the new enemy. He follows Shaw in Han’s funeral, but is interrupted by Mr. Nobody, played by Kurt Russell. He send Dom and his team for a mission to get a chip, made by Ramsey, a hacker, to track down any person. Then occurs a series of fights, chases, stunts, and lots and lots of fun, and everything leads to Shaw, best being the
Acting Wise, it’s basically Vin Diesel movie through out. Paul Walker, since died in Nov, so he took the back seat, and most shown his back through out the movie, but the work by his brothers are commendable. Rock gets only few scenes. Tyrese gives a good laughing option to the public. Michelle Rodrigues is ok, as is Jordana Brewster. Jason Statham get a meaty role this time and makes a hell lot of enjoyment.
The camera work, CGI and background music is superb. The direction is fine.
On the whole a enjoyable ride, and a good farewell to Paul Walker.
