Storyline
Dominic and his crew thought they'd left the criminal mercenary life
behind. They'd defeated international terrorist Owen Shaw and went their
separate 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 the terrorist and the United
States government.
Furious Seven (2015) Movie Reviews
I saw Furious 7 at a
SXSW screening. The sudden death of Paul Walker shocked his fans and the
people who were setting hopes for another F&F movie. Well, James
Wan and his crew managed to pull it together using CGI and stunt
doubles. I have to say, it was a bigger stake here than Furious 6, which
felt more bang- bang than a GOOD movie. If you are looking for little
story, more car chases, stupendous action and violence and hot babes,
Furious 7 is your ticket. The scenes shot in Dubai are particularly
spectacular, with lush resorts, exotic cars being driven off hotel
rooftops and crashing into an art gallery, ah! What wonders F7 takes you
to! You may know, James Wan from Insidious and Saw, and his crazy
camera tricks are highlight here. But it comes with a little compromise,
the acting, Diesel feels raw, while Rodriguez feels stale and bland.
Walker is great, as usual (R.I.P) Tyrese Gibson is the worst, with his
"cool guy" attitude and "bad boy" cliché character. Overall, this one
last trip as Torretto calls it, is refreshing, bang on and full out
spectacular. Furious 7 deserves to be watched.
