Rating: 6/10 (10 April 2015)

This is for those of us who didn't think Universal had a super hero franchise. I've never been a fast and furious fan and was roped into watching this for my son's birthday. It's a great film and a wonderful, emotional and fitting tribute to Paul Walker. The action is intense, absorbing and gripping, the dialogue is.... well... poor but about as creative as you might expect in this high octane low plot franchise. The plot is spread over a foundation of clichés The biggest feature of the film is the action. It is seat edgingly intense and relies on two brilliantly delivered elements - the car chases (as you'd expect) and the fight-action sequences. The action is even occasionally original (particularly the next generation cat fight)
