'Dominic Toretto. you don't know me, but you're about to.'

Rating: 6/10 (20 September 2015)

So we speed up to #7 in this gigantically popular action series. Don't expect much meaningful storyline, but do expect a lot of action form a crew that seems to love blowing up cars and driving them through the air and through the tall buildings of Abu Dabai and other fascinating locales. The film is overly long for the paucity of content, but for F & F fans it will satisfy.
Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew thought they'd left the criminal mercenary life behind. They'd defeated international terrorist Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) and went their separate ways. But now, Shaw's brother, Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), is out killing the crew one by one for revenge. Worse, a Somalian terrorist called Jakarde (Djimon Hounsou) and a shady government official called "Mr. Nobody" (Kurt Russell) are both competing to steal a computer terrorism program called "God's Eye," that can turn any technological device into a weapon. Torretto must reconvene with his team to stop Shaw and retrieve the God's Eye program while caught in a power struggle between the terrorist and the United States government. The "7' of course are Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Ludicrous, Michelle Rodriguez, and Lucas Black and the cast is rounded out with some other strong actors.
It is a speed action genre film and if that is your bag you'll love it and likely forgive the shallow content.
