What A Ride!!

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2015)

The seventh installment in the Fast & Furious film series, 'Furious 7' is pure bad-ass, no-holds-barred entertainment! It redefines popcorn entertainment & offers pure thrill. Its presentation & execution, both, are mind-bogglingly done!
'Furious 7' Synopsis: Deckard Shaw seeks revenge against Dominic Toretto and his family for the death of his brother.
'Furious 7' has style & substance. The Script is perfectly done, while the Action-Sequences leave you stunned. You will cheer each time a car collides with another, or when a car flies from one building to another. When was the last time an Escapist flick left you awe-struck, been a while right? Finally, 'Furious 7' does that!
Chris Morgan's Screenplay is swift & fact-paced. James Wan's Direction is high-octane. Cinematography captures all the maddening action, with zeal. Editing is razor-sharp, despite a running-time over 133-minutes. Action-Sequences, simply, are spell-binding.
Performance-Wise: The Late/Great Paul Walker is the emotional strength of 'Furious 7'. The talented actor who passed away back in 2013, gives the film immense power through his presence. And a beautifully fitting tribute is given to him in the film's final moments. Vin Diesel is tough, as ever. Dwayne Johnson, surprisingly, is reduced into a cameo here. He's brilliant nevertheless. Michelle Rodriguez is efficient. Ludicrous & Tyrese Gibson bring the house down, with hilarious turns. Jason Statham, as the antagonist, plays it straight. Ditto for Djimon Hounsou. Ali Fazal leaves a mark. And its so nice to see Kurt Russell back after a hiatus. The veteran is superb.
On the whole, 'Furious 7' takes summer blockbusters to another level. Its entertainment at its finest! Two Thumbs Up!
