The Ideal 'Dumb-Action Movie'!

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2018)

The Fast and the Furious franchise has become fast-food for action-movie junkies; consume one meal and you're already onto the next one in a heartbeat, once it's available. Furious Seven is no exception here: we have a fast, outrageous and crazy action film that f###s the laws of physics in beautifully stupid ways, but at least it's memorable and HONEST stupidity, unlike Michael Bay's movies which fail in embracing that investing stupidity.
Director James Wan knows that he's doing a movie that's basically Looney Tunes mixed with 80s-90s action-movies such as Speed, and he freaking loves what he's doing. Vin Diesel is having a ball and so is The Rock, Paul Walker (who died during production), Jason Statham and even 80s-mainstay Kurt Russell (who freaking owns every scene he's in). So get prepared for the movie-equivalent of a ready-to-eat meal and turn your brain off; it's cinematic bliss that relishes in its over-the-top nature.
Furious Seven gets a rock-solid 4/5 stars.
