The next movie to be reviewed will be "Furious 7" movie. I will be listing some good and bad things about the movie while kind of giving it a summary of what happens. There is a lot of ****SPOILERS **** in this review so if you haven't seen the movie yet I wouldn't read this further until after watching it.
In addition this movie is a sequel to six previous "Furious" movies. I must say though that I did not see any of the previous ones and went in to watch this one only and I still enjoyed the movie. But if you wanna check out the other movies first before coming to this review then that is a good plan as well.
The movie starts off with Dominic Torreto played by "Vin Diesel" and Letty Ortiz" played by Michelle Rodriguez who are at a race tournament with fast cars. Things go well and Letty wins the car race at the end but then ends up punching a guy because she is troubled by what happened in the past. I would like to point out that this was a good way to start out with the movie. Why you ask? Well quite simply it creates a little bit of car action at the beginning of the movie. After all the movie "Furious 7" deals with cars, especially in all previous movies as well.
Ian Shaw played by "Jason Statham" is the main bad guy in the movie. At the beginning of the movie he goes into a federal building to steal the identities of the whole crew of Dominic. This is because Ian is seeking vengeance for his brother from the previous "Furious 7" movie. Although Ian has to fight Luke Hobbs played by "Dwayne Johnson" to get the information from the computers. I liked the fight sequence in this because the fight lasts a long time, and it sets up the rest of the movie. But in the end Ian gets away with the information he needs on Dominic's crew and Luke ends up going to the hospital for a broken arm.
Ian then attempts to take out Dominic, Mia played by "Jordana Brewster", and Brian Oconnor played by "Paul Walker". Ian doesn't kill any of them but that leads the group to go after Ian shaw by tracking him down and taking him out. But in order to do this the whole crew: Dominic, Brian, Letty, Roman Pierce played by "Tyrese Gibson, and Tej played by "Ludacris would have to go attack an armored car and get a lady who was most familiar with a tracking program. The whole crew attacks the armored car and a whole scene of car action and guns ensue creating awesome on-screen chaos. I love this part of the movie because the whole gun sequence on cars was well done and it definitely kept the audience entertained in the movie. In addition people were jumping out of cars back and forth and it created a lot of suspense in that people were wondering who would fall hard into the road.
They finally get the lady they were looking for in the armored cars known as Megan Ramsey played by "Nathalie Emmanuel". There was one problem though and that was that the contact that was supposed to have kept the "tracking program" ended up selling it to a billionaire. But wait it gets worse this guy has the tracking device in a very expensive car that is all the at the top of a skyscraper building. How is that for the ultimate nail biter? Anyways the whole crew tracks the car to the top of the building by being invited to a party. They crash the party and then steal the car. This is where the movie gets even more interesting. Dominic and Brian take the car and travel across different buildings by going out the windows and then landing to nearby buildings. Sounds fishy but it made the movie really cool and as I mentioned above it shows that the movie is a "car" type movie. They finally escape with the tracking program and then are able to track Ian's location.
In the end of the movie the crew tracks Ian Shaw but some of the crew have drones coming after them to take them down. In order to stop these drones from tracking them they have to hack the system and then bring down the network. They finally bring down the system and are able to get to safety peacefully. Meanwhile Dominic and Ian are on the roof fighting each other in a hardcore matchup with fists and some mobile weapons. An enemy helicopter comes and ends up blowing up the roof sending Ian to his death, while Dominic ends up getting away. Although Dominic is injured during the chaos, but Luke who is injured at the beginning of the movie shoots a big cannon gun taking out the helicopter. This leads the whole gang to come together to see if Dominic is okay. At first it seems as if Dominic is dead, but in reality he is not. The whole groups ends up being okay after all the aftermath. The reason why I liked the ending is that they show Dominic remembering all previous versions of Furious 7 history with Brian (played by Paul Walker) and the gang. I liked the setup a lot and I think the directors probably wanted to do this to give memory for "Paul Walker" who actually died in a car accident in real life. Side Fact: They had to do the rest of the movie with another actor and then use computers to put Paul Walker's face for Brian in the movie.
At the end of the movie the whole gang is at the beach remembering that life is precious and that everyone should live peacefully with their children. I like the ending of the movie because it brings a whole sense of the entire film and what was trying to be accomplished. Now that you have seen the entire movie what did you think of the plot? The action sequences? The ending? What would you as the director of "Furious 7" have done to make the movie a little more exciting? Do you think that the movie was exciting as it was laid out?
