Revenge is so so cold...... action packed, thrilling and suspense filled but still some bits of make believe tricks here and there. How did Hobbs know that there's a need for the drone to be brought down right after leaving the hospital bed? how did he know where the drone was at the moment when he left with the ambulance? How did Deckard Shaw know both that Toretto and his crew will be both on the route of Afghanistan and also when they were at Abu Dhabi? Its a little bit odd and out of place for the director and script editor.... As for the next upcoming part in the franchise, i think Mark Wahlberg should be considered for a part in the rest of Fast and furious franchise..... Cheers ! ! !

This is one of those movies where the French decided on an English name but for some inexplicable reason the original English name was not good enough for them. So in France it is called Fast & Furious 7 but I believe it is called Furious Seven in the US. Typical French way of doing things I am afraid. This movie is probably not for everyone. It is very typical for the latest Fast & Furious movies though. The movie can be summed up by explosions, fast cars, fighting, did I mention explosions, repeat until credits roll. For me it was just what I expected and just what I wanted from this particular movie as well. If you are into fast cars, lots of action and explosive special effects and a bit of male macho talk then this movie will please you just fine. The gang is back. I have to confess that I like both Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson even though they are rather far from Shakespeare material as far as acting goes. For this kind of movie they are perfect though. Unfortunately Dwayne Johnson was absent for a good chunk of the movie. When he came back from his brief presence in the beginning of the movie he did so with a vengeance though. I was actually expecting to dislike “Mr Nobody” but I have to say that I quite liked him. Despite the fact that this is a macho action movie there is at least a small kernel of story in there. It is a classical revenge story but it is embellished with enough material to make it fairly decent. Well, decent within the confines of this kind of movie of course. Seen from a reasonable point of view the entire movie is of course totally ludicrous. The stunts are really cool but if you sober up from the adrenaline feast you rather quickly find a lot of the stunts pretty far out. Like jumping between buildings in fancy cars and such like. Even if we skip the most ridiculous scenes there are plenty more to nit-pick about. Like the fact that those old, but cool, American cars that Torretto drives would not have a chance in hell against his more modern adversaries unless possibly if the road was entirely straight. But then, these ridiculous things are what the fast and furious series is all about is it not? Well, after about two hours of ludicrous, but very entertaining, actions stunts there is a happy ending and when the credits roll this viewer is definitely a happy customer.

Once they'd put paid to some criminal antics that ended up with Fed "Shaw" (Luke Evans) in a coma, the gang had returned home to get on with their lives - without reckoning on the vengeful and meticulous fury of his British special forces expert big brother (Jason Statham). "Toretto" (Vin Diesel) assembles his surprisingly vulnerable team to prepare for an attack, only to be caught napping and to see "Hobbs" (Dwayne Johnson) end up in the hospital! Just to further confuse matters, the enigmatic "Mr. Nobody" (Kurt Russell) turns up and warns them that a rogue called "Jakanade" (Djimon Hounsou) is on the hunt for a piece of magical tech that can weaponise everything from an electric toothbrush to a cruise missile. Now they must travel the world in a bid to thwart "Shaw" and this well-equipped and maniacal armaments pedlar whilst, of course, using (and trashing) as many cars as they can - even one that belongs to a Jordanian prince and kept half way up a skyscraper. The story is frankly a little too thin and a bit of a predicable mess, but you don't watch "F&F" films for Pulitzer scripts. Instead, we have a series of perfectly choreographed airborne acrobatics and high-octane car chases that would have destroyed any family car and eviscerated the occupants. Aside from Diesel, there are disappointingly sparing appearances from Paul Walker's "O'Conner"; Johnson could obviously only spare two or three filming days and Lucas Black brings an accent so thick you could stand a pitchfork up in it. I could also have been doing with a little more from Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster, if only to prove that gals can drive and kick ass at the same time, too! It's all watchable enough with some superb visual effects and a gently fitting tribute to Walker at the end, but it's too long and I sort of lost interest on and off throughout.
