With the opening sequence of the movie, we see Shaw miraculously penetrate the headquarters of an advanced security force and proceed to single-handedly destroy the entire building unopposed.įurious 7 features a handful of high-octane car chases that are aptly described by a news headline in the movie as "vehicular warfare”. However things take a turn for the ugly when Owen Shaw's brother Ian (Jason Statham) comes looking for them as he seeks revenge for the death of his sibling. The movie picks up where Fast and Furious 6 left off: after defeating villain Owen Shaw's gang, Toretto and O'Conner, along with their crew return to the United States in hopes of leading a normal life.
Whatever few scenes remained were flesh out by his brother and by animations.įurious 7 was slated to include a tribute or some sort of ode to the late actor, which is another reason people have been eager to watch it. Walker had mostly finished shooting Furious 7 when he died in a fiery car crash, in a haunting and ironic similarity to his work in Fast and Furious. Of course, fans have another reason for watching Furious 7 - this is the last film Paul Walker shot before his tragic and untimely death in 2013. The flawed and broken relationships between these characters, in contrast to the high-adrenaline action of car chases, is what enthralled cinema goers and made the franchise the worldwide sensation that it is. To them, street racing was a form of escapism from their troubled lives as they tried to balance their lust for crime with the values of family and friendship. The first film, The Fast and the Furious, was essentially a film about racing-buff and car aficionado Toretto, his crew Jesse (Chad Lindberg), Leon (Johnny Strong), Vince (Matt Schulze) and Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) and undercover cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), characters that were bonded together by their love for cars and street racing. As Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his posse return to cinema screens in Furious 7, with it, the franchise moves even further away from its roots. Successful as it may be, the consistent deterioration of character and plot has been evident over the past 6 installments. The box office success of the Fast and Furious franchise, which began 15 years ago and is now on its seventh installation, is undoubtedly mammoth.
