Vengeance Hits Home

Rating: 7/10 (8 April 2015)

Furious 7 stands as the darkest entry in the franchise, bringing everyone deeper into the violent world they first entered in Fast & Furious 6. Hunted down by a revenge-seeking assassin and stuck in the middle of a power struggle between a new terrorist and secret government agency, Toretto and his team must reunite to prevent total global chaos.
While the movie ultimately suffers from its convoluted plot, remaining loose ends are tied and the casts compelling performances give this thriller tons of genuine heart. Combined with its bone-shattering fights and the craziest action sequences the series has ever seen, this latest chapter truly deserves its record-breaking box-office success.
Despite the film's limitations surrounding Paul Walker's character due to his tragic real-life passing, everyone involved put in so much heart and soul that you can't help but feel the powerful energy it delivers. Against near-impossible odds, director James Wan manages to give the fans one last ride that tastefully serves as a beautiful and touching tribute to Walker's legacy.
