7 Fast 7 Furious: The Revenge of Shaw

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2015)

Dominic Toretto and his fast gang of furious street racers are back again for the 7th time! The stakes are 7 times higher than ever before.
You saw the gang go against Owen Shaw and generally kick his ass, putting him in a coma. They thought it was all over but now here comes his big brother who you learn (in an over the top dramatic opening scene) ends up having to fight all his little brothers battles. So watch him naturally hunt Torettos team in an action packed sequel which will once again defy the laws of physics (and gravity) have a cheesy romance story and of course have cars! doing stuff that cars aren't supposed to do (or able to do really if we are being 100% scientifically accurate) Jason Statham (despite being accepted as an action hero for some reason) has a reputation for playing the same guy in every film, same accent, same mannerisms, the only difference really is if his character gets a sense of humour or not, in this case he goes without one. I'm not a Statham fan (is it obvious?) but he absolutely kills in this movie! (pun intended) From the previously mentioned dramatic opening scene to the action packed climax he stays amazing cool, oozing with charisma and general badassness.
The film has the usual team dynamic with Ludicrous being the hacker and Tyrese being the (cringeworthy unfunny) comic relief, Toretto and Brian teaming up once again (sadly for the last time) to stop the big bad guy, of course there is a forced romance story between Toretto and Letty, wasting precious screen time with their little angsty story was amazing to see on the big screen. Kurt Russell makes an appearance as a not so shady business man with "an offer they can't refuse" One of the chicks from Game of Thrones makes a brief appearance (as well as a nobody "Bollywood actor") Stathams character always decides to make an appearance at the most inconvenient times. The Rock is on bed rest for most of the movie, but don't worry even he has a few good scenes in the movie. So you'll be seeing all of these amazing characters (also random ass shots of girls throughout the movie just because the director wants to confirm that you know that he is a pervert and an assguy, not a titguy) Overall it's a good action flick with everything you would have come to expect from a Fast and Furious movie. Fast cars, random uninspired ass shots (literally the camera zooming into random womens asses because that's normal behaviour for a self respecting director) breathtaking action scenes, cheesy dialogue (AKA Tyrese humour) the characters randomly having to travel the world, grand theft auto, A-star celebrity cameos (with Iggy Azalea thrown in for good measure) and in the end enjoy a (pretty amazingly done) goodbye montage to a fantastic actor that will leave you teary eyed.
So bottom line, it's an action packed sequel that satisfies and is actually more fun than its predecessors. This movie made me a Stathan fan (well...) I highly recommend it to everyone who's into mindless action movies (Statham fans/Fast and Furious Fans)
