Movie Reviews
FURIOUS 7 starts its engine quietly, depicting cast members now back to their normal lives in the
United States. But the wheel doesn't stop there (Statham), and with the arrival of a new enemy,
the engine immediately roars anew and gears the movie toward an unprecedented high-velocity
escapade, giving way to the most explosive, and probably, the most heart-wrenching chapter of
the series, yet. YET, yes, because the saga doesn't show any sign of retirement, and with the new
heights reached in Furious 7, the signage is quiet clear: the franchise is nowhere near its final
destination.
There's a haunting poignancy in how the movie reiterates "family" and sticking together, while
keeping the blazing momentum of the speed and action unperturbed, if not ever progressing.
Centripetal to this theme, is Paul Walker's character's retirement, fueling the film's emotional
core with piercing capacity . The level of action are thrust into all new-heights, and visual drama
are brought into breathtaking levels. Whether action and emotions are immiscible or not, that
theory is totally dismissed here, as both blends well to bring the attempt into a glorious result.
While the narrative is far from perfect, there are lots of reasons to shrug off such shortcoming.
The movie vaunts a solid assemblage of action stars led by Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Kurt Russell
and Jason Statham. Jason Statham, plays as the main antagonist here, and he makes a decent
job, so does Vin Diesel as the leader of the crew. There is no shortage of visual extravagance,
as every high-octane action stunt is delivered with breathtaking CGI-trickery, magnifying the
thrill into several seismic folds. At such instances, the visual artistry overshadows the real
intention of the moment, and when it does, the narrative falls with no more than rudimentary
appeal. But then again, with the level of adrenaline employed to fuel up the death-defying action
sequences that looms up every now and then, it will be totally forgivable to lose thought of the
said flaw, and just enjoy the ride.
Regardless of its faults , FURIOUS 7 is a ride worth taking over and over again, not only because
of the level of action it presents, but more strikingly, of how its core is imbued with resonating
message of family and brotherhood. Evident to this, is how it pays tribute to Brian (Walker),
dotting the movie with flashbacks of him, to further build up his character. And towards the end,
as the momentum further spikes, the film places Brian on spotlight, bringing the mov.
