Out of this world action that will keep you entertained all the way

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2015)

This movie shows perfectly what this series has become since it decided to change from a serious racing film to a fun and over the top action film. And i am so glad they made that decision because this was packed with over the top stunts and fights with some comedy thrown in there, it was just so damn enjoyable. Not saying that i hated the first three instalments but this is just almost like a completely different franchise. You have to go into this film knowing that they aren't taking themselves seriously and making the stunts realistic because almost every stunt that is pulled in this film would result in certain death. But the lack of realism does not make this film any less enjoyable, in fact it is those moments of just totally crazy action that make this film so great. The only negative i can really give this film is story wise it wasn't all that amazing. You can tell that the flow of the story wasn't really the focus, they didn't spend a whole lot of time figuring out how to move these characters to different locations around the globe, they just made it happen with little to no explanation. But within 30 seconds you completely forget about that and get back to focusing on the real star of the film, the action.
The stunts and action sequences throughout the film from the fairly grounded ones to the completely insane ones are all just as thrilling and entertaining. All these sequences are really spaced out well and executed amazingly. Not to say that the climactic action sequence is a massive onslaught of fight after fight, stunt after stunt and has you on the edge of your seat for a constant 20 minutes. The cast were all great everyone got a fair amount of screen time, and you just always seemed to care about them. They had been set up and developed so well in the previous films that you just went into this film already liking them. Stepping aside from the action this film did mark the final film for Paul Walker who past away during the filming of this film, and it did a great job of honoring his work and effort he put into this series of films spanning 15 years. In the end this is a fun action thriller that you can just sit back and enjoy pretty much every minute of and laugh, maybe even cry but you will always be invested in the film. - 8.1
