Hold Tight! This Ride is Bumpy! Furious 7 Movie Review

Are you ready to grab a hold of the edge of your seat and hold your breath? Furious 7 keeps the adrenaline pumping from the opening scene to the very end. I give Furious 7 an A.

In this seventh installment of the popular series, the older brother of a former nemesis tries to settle the score. Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) is out killing the crew one by one for revenge and Dominic Torretto must get his family back together to keep them safe and find the one person (Ramsey) who has a computer program that can find Deckard no matter where he’s hiding.

I haven’t seen the rest of the series but enjoyed the nail-biting action and sexy muscle cars. From amazing driving to exciting jumps, the action never stops. I love that they have to post a warning at the end of the movie about the stunts as if someone might try to parachute a car out of an airplane!

Vin Diesel and “The Rock” are easy on the eyes as “kick-butt” good guys who go up against Deckard Shaw, a former black ops agent to a Somalia warlord. My favorite line is “Sir, someone double tapped our drone.”

Sadly, Paul Walker passed away during the making of this movie. Using CGI and his brothers, the movie was completed. At times, you can tell it’s not him but knowing about his passing makes the movie even more poignant, especially at the end with Dominic’s message about family and always being together. Yes, my eyes weren’t the only ones crying at the end. After all, it’s one last ride.
