Most Action-Packed in the Series

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2015)

I saw "Furious Seven", starring Vin Diesel-Riddick, The Pacifier; Paul Walker-Brick Mansions, Pleasantville; Jason Statham-the Expendables movies, the Transporter movies; Dwayne Johnson-Hercules_2014, Get Smart_2008 and Kurt Russell-Death Proof, Vanilla Sky.
People have said that this is the last in the Fast & Furious franchise, seeing as how Paul died during the filming of this one but I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be more, once they see how much the box office rakes in-it was very crowded at the 9:00 am showing that I went to and it is usually not very busy, that early in the morning. They had to use body doubles, including Paul's brothers, and CGI to finish the film and to be honest, I think they did a good job. I had a hard time telling the differences. The story starts right after number 6 ends. Jason plays the big brother of the villain from 6 and Jason is looking for revenge. Vin, Paul and the rest of the gang are all just taking it easy-Paul is even settled down with Jordana and child and driving a mini-van-when Jason comes looking for them, killing one team member and putting Dwayne in the hospital in the process. Kurt pops up as a government spook that knows Jason's background and offers Vin's team info on Jason, if Vin's team will help recover some kind of super computer spyware called 'God's Eye' for him. Of course there are lots of car stunts-cars parachuting out of planes and jumping between buildings- and fight scenes-Jason vs Dwayne, Jason vs Vin, Michelle vs Ronda-that will blow your socks off, if you are wearing any, and several cameos of previous Furious stars, like Lucas Black, and newcomers like Ronda Rousey, Tony Jaa and Iggy Azalea. All in all, I think this one is the most action packed, in the series. There is a song called 'See You Again' at the end and as the end credits start, 'For Paul' appears on screen and scenes with Paul from the previous movies are shown in a montage. It's rated "PG-13" for violence, action, language and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 2 hours & 17 minutes. I really enjoyed this one and would buy it on Blu-Ray.
