One of the best in The Franchise

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2015)

This was the 7th fast and the furious film (obviously) and when most franchises never reach that many movies and it's surprising this franchise has and even more so that it is a great movie. Vin Diesel uses the word family a lot in this film and it is fitting as one of the best things in the film is the crews chemistry and relationship it did really work as they felt like a family. They act like one to they love each other but disguise it by making fun of each other and having a great laugh during the most dangerous situations. The films Villain was a great one having a great performance for Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw (Is Deckard even a real name by the way?). He was so villainous and bad ass as he not only had the courage to fight the Rock but beat him. Unfortunately he was really underused. The Gods-eye plot wasn't as interesting as the revenge plot and it did drag on a bit. The ending was perfect for want it needed to be the final fight with Deckard Shaw and his men was a really well done action scene. It also had in my opinion the best line in the movie "Did you think this was going to be a street fight..... You're god-damn right it is". The emotional end scene with Diesel and Walker was so sad and really felt like a fitting end to the series which I really think it should have been. I know I haven't talked about Paul Walker that much in this review but to be perfectly honest I wasn't a huge Paul Walker fan don't get me wrong he was a really good actor but I haven't seen him in much other than these movies so I didn't feel the sadness that so many other people felt when he died. But in the end other than the fact some elements dragged on a bit and the underused villain I loved this movie and in the end was the second best movie in the franchise (I thought 6 was just a little bit better) and one of the best movies of 2015
