Time to say Goodbye

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2015)

Although as you can imagine, the Fast&Furious franchise will go on. But for those unaware, before the filming was completed one of the main stars throughout the series Paul Walker died in a car accident. That fact alone is terrifying and horrible, the movie therefor got delayed initially. Reshoots were ordered and there is a digital Walker in here (he's not difficult to spot, quite the opposite, though I'm not certain, if we are not there yet, technically or if they chose to do it that way, so people would know).
Whatever the case, the movie knows and plays with the expectation of that fact (and in a very fine way too), while we wait for that resolution to happen. Some might argue, that therefor the movie is too serious, but it's just the way it is. While the way the handled the Paul Walker storyline (or rather his characters) might have blinded some people (for the better concerning the movie, it's tough not to be emotionally involved especially with one particular song that sums things up), the movie itself closes its page on a chapter ... but makes sure you know there is more to come.
A lot of crazy stunts and a Tony Jaa who is actually fitting in the small role he has (something that unfortunately can't be said about his role in Skin Trade). So overall more than a decent effort and if you give the movie special points of how they treated Paul Walkers character (apart from the bad CGI that is), you might feel it deserves an even higher rating.
