Cars don't fly, but they can here

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2015)

Let me just start off by saying that this movie defies logic and rules of physics. People falling from heights and escaping with just a bruise, the villain showing up in every single scene (I mean how the hell does he know when and where to show up every time), cars FLYING, people breaking a cast simply by sheer force of squeezing their muscles really hard, people surviving grenades tossed right at their feet, people surviving a whole building collapsing on them and not have a single scratch on them, cars falling from a mountain and get crushed yet everybody in it survives, the absence of government/military during a terrorist attack. I mean, whatever impossibility you can think of, this movie did it. So if you are the type that goes 'nah this ain't possible' or 'what a bunch of bullocks' then you might not enjoy this movie at all. But if you are like me, who enjoy any kind of action no matter how unreasonable as long as it is executed perfectly, then this is the movie for you. The four main characters: 'Vin, Jason, Paul and Michelle' Kick so much ass and do it all by hand to hand combat in scenes that were very well directed. The scenes that didn't involve people fighting to a pulp had cars - duh. You'd think that by the seventh movie they would be out of ideas for car stunts. But no, much like George Clooney, it gets better with time.
P.S, welcome Jason to the Fast family.
Finally, the tribute. Getting in, I only knew that CGI Paul was used in the final scene, but in reality, CGI Paul was used in almost half the movie and I didn't even notice. The final scene is a beautiful tribute to him, I don't think there was a single dry eye in the theater. You can tell that the only reason they didn't chose to kill the character off is not because of the fans, or the movie, or the money .. but because of Paul Walker. Some other shows/movie decide to do that (kill off a character) once an actor dies such as Glee and Big Bang Theory (as a recent example) and some do not address it at all (like Dark Knight). I am glad that they didn't do that, watching Brian get his happy ending gave me a sense of solace.
If you enjoy 'crazy' action movies, then this is the movie for you. A highly entertaining film that many people of different ages can watch and enjoy. Be prepared to get a box of tissue for the ending scene.
