Furious 7
0430
- The fact that Furious 7 is messier than any of the past installments is more than mitigated by its grandeur. 'Dom, cars don't fly! Cars don't fly!' Brian yells before its biggest stunt. Furious 7 makes you believe they can.
- The director, James Wan, sends cars repeatedly airborne and seems himself to marvel at the results; the movie's real subject is the stunt work, but its stars' authentic chemistry lends melody to its relentless beat.
- As zippy, playful and amiably preposterous as the best of the previous models.
- 'Furious 7' could have come across as ghoulish, but it's not until the very end that we're reminded of Walker's fate, and the filmmakers handle it with taste and respect.
- Who would have thought that a series addicted to the high of movement could also summon a solemnity that leaves you moved?

The only grace note in this otherwise determinedly graceless movie is the classy way Walker's exit is handled. To say more is to say too much.New York Magazine/Vulture

Furious 7 kicks the biggest and hardest, but it's far from the best.- This is an immensely entertaining movie, and if the filmmakers are wise, they'll quit on this high note.
- It's all entertaining enough, I suppose. But there's a twisted coldness under the action that's anxiously concealed by the characters' refrains of the importance of 'family' and sticking together and other ostensibly nice stuff.
- The real stars of these films are the bonkers action setpieces, and 'Furious 7' achieves new high points in that department.
- It's all dumb, but it's wonderfully, comfortably dumb in just the right way.
- What transpires is grimmer than what's come before, and without the sense of fun, the absurdity of the action becomes less enjoyable.
- A remarkably satisfying and entertaining action movie, one of the best in the series. Put your brain in neutral and enjoy the ride.
- The movie doesn't hold together as well as the previous chapter, but that's really a function of expanding the cast still further.
- Furious Seven provides what viewers have come to expect from the long-running The Fast and the Furious series: a string of high-octane, physics-defying action scenes loosely connected by a narrative that occasionally makes rudimentary sense.
- The film follows an exceedingly well-traveled road, though the formula-a crew of racer-adventurers who put dual premiums on speed and family values-has been spiked with ever more spectacular, or preposterous, effects.
- For a franchise known for cheesy, heavy-handed lines, Furious 7 served up a classy, heartbreaking send-off for its departed star, one that acknowledged the tragedy of real life without allowing it to overwhelm the fictional world.
- The story takes place in LA, Abu Dhabi, Tokyo, and the Caucasus Mountains, yet Wan has so few ideas about how to choreograph and edit action that the elaborate stunt sequences all feel exactly the same.
- The grunted catch-phrases, the implausible escapes, the plot holes the size of the Bonneville Salt Flats - it's all pitched at a particular audience like a dog whistle that fully grown humans can't hear.
- At this rate, the next chapter will have to take place in outer space. Fast & Furious: Venusian Drift.
Furious 7 is the seventh installment in the Fast and the Furious film franchise.Set after the events of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the film finds the team being targeted by Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), the elder brother of Owen Shaw (from Fast & Furious 6), a rogue ex-black ops assassin who is now out for revenge following the events of the previous entry.
