"This Time It Ain't About Just Being Fast"

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2015)

The Fast And Furious series has always been about breath-taking stunts,modified cars,exotic locales & of course,family!A celebration of togetherness that it always is,Furious 7 is a typical Fast And Furious film that showcases a cocktail of death-defying action sequences,pinch of humor,too little logic and hell lot of family sentiments,offering a touching tribute to Paul Walker who passed away halfway through the making of the film.
James Wan,known for directing notable horror films such as Saw,Insidous and Conjuring has almost succeeded in pulling off a worthy addition to the franchise ,presenting an enthralling ride filled with high-octane action and lovable performances from the cast,utilising a pretty average screenplay by Chris Morgan.Its James's expertise in narration that manages to keep the viewers hooked through the 2 hrs of running time with the virtue of some of the best action sequences to come out in recent times from Hollywood.
Now its a known that logic takes a backseat in the franchise,way too back from the fifth installment to be precise,but I believe there are millions like me who wouldn't mind keeping the brains off for the mean time,provided it can blow the senses and most importantly, simply being a sequel to the Fast and Furious seriesThe 3D wasn't utilized much and the effects were pretty average except for few moments in between.
A big thumbs up and ovation to the crew who managed to complete the movie which was stuck halfway due to the untimely death of Paul flawlessly with the help of body doubles and CGI.The last 5 minutes of the movie is a beautiful and touching tribute to Paul which looks fit both for the narration and the sentiments associated with his demise.We will miss u Paul!R.I.P :-(
Vin Diesel was the pick of the lot giving out yet another power-packed performance alongside Paul who made his last film a memorable one for his fans.Dwayne Johnson has very few appearances,but managed to evoke excitement every time he appeared on screen.Jason Statham was perfect as the big bad brother of Sha from Fast And Furious 6.Michelle Rodriguez,Chris Badges etc too were good in their respective roles.
On the negative side,20-30 minutes prior to the climax looked over-stretched and dull in comparison with the remainder of the story.Rest of the flaws were negligible and didn't act as stumbling blocks in the ride.Cuts were sharp and added to the peppiness,the same applying to the energetic soundtrack.
Overall Furious 7 is a decent addition to the franchise,a worthy watch from the big screen for all the excitement in store.
Verdict::Fast And Furious as always,the seventh installment in the series is nevertheless a good enough sequel which manages to provide 2 hrs of satisfactory excitement and fun.Keep Your Logic Off & Enjoy This ‪#‎OneLastRide‬ ‪#‎ForPaul‬.
It Doesn't Matter If You're A Quarter Of Mile Away! Wherever You Are You Will Always Be Our brother :-) My Rating::7.5/10
