VIN DIESEL & PAUL WALKER IN FURIOUS 7
2015 rating: ***1/2 |
What 7 is to the entire franchise can be compared to MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL, and not only because there’s a sequence taking place in the Arab Emirates. It's a straight-out action flick while the cars, and the characters… really one in the same… are but instruments being carried by instead of literally driving the plot, handed-off onto various agendas: first to rescue a hacker and then to find the main bad guy, played by Jason Statham, related to the previous villain and seeking hardcore revenge.

So for fans of the series, this will definitely be a worthy climax (although obviously not a conclusion) – and for those who don’t care much for the hip-hop MTV style testosterone of the previous ventures (like yours truly), there’s a lot to enjoy in a franchise that’s become so unbelievably farfetched, it all seems completely believable, somehow.

Oddly the only Furious movie I have seen is Tokyo Drift. I'm on a Zero Tolerance Non-Movie watching kick, well not really kick but future lifestyle for the rest of my life. Unfortunately there are three upcoming movies I plan on seeing the rest of the year.
ReplyDeleteAnother great review. It won't get me to see it. I think my last car movie that I really loved was Smokey and the Bandit .Hmmm I guess Gumball Rally was after that or before? And I loved the original Gone in 60 Seconds, not the awful Nick Cage movie. Cannonball Run, not so much either.
I shall always read your reviews and be in awe.
