In the opening scene set in London, England, Deckard Shaw ( Jason Statham) stands by his brother Owen's ( Luke Evans) bedside as he lays in a coma, badly scarred and crippled after being ejected from the plane (in the last Fast and Furious film). Shaw promises to his brother that he will settle his score. He leaves the room and out into the rest of the hospital, with bodies everywhere. The building continues to burn and crumble around him. Meanwhile, Dom ( Vin DIesel) drives Letty ( Michelle Rodriguez) to a racetrack in the California desert where hundreds of people from their neighborhood gather for Race Wars, something that Dom and Letty invented when they were younger. Letty goes up for the race and flies past her opponent as his car breaks down on the track. All the patrons cheer her on after she crosses the finish line, followed by Iggy Azalea showing up out of nowhere to congratulate Letty. The excitement from the others is too overwhelming for Letty, and she takes the car and drives away. Dom later finds her that night at the cemetery, staring at her own tombstone. Dom takes a sledgehammer to smash it, but Letty stops him because she thinks the person she used to be is no longer who she is to Dom, and she doesn't want to hurt him for that. She bids Dom goodbye. Brian ( Paul Walker) is adjusting to life as a minivan-driving dad, as his son Jack is now old enough for school. Even his wife Mia ( Jordana Brewster Dom's sister, acknowledges that he has had trouble settling down this way. That evening, Hobbs ( Dwayne Johnson) continues to do some overnight work while Elena ( Elsa Pataky) is getting ready to go out. Hobbs hands her a letter of recommendation that she asked him for. He wishes her luck in her pursuits. Hobbs then sees Shaw in his office hacking into his computer. Hobbs attempts to arrest him as he is gathering the information on the crew that took down his.
Why are you even reading a Furious 7 review? For most of the franchise’s enthusiastic audience there are only two questions to be answered about the latest sequel: does it do right by Paul Walker, and how does it continue the development of a film family while simultaneously expanding the scope of the increasingly insane action setpieces established by the last two films? Without spoiling specifics, the answer to the first question is that Furious 7 treats the late Paul Walker with more respect than it shows to anything other than cars and frantic punching. The answer to the second is more complicated. Furious 7 is more of a comic book movie than any other chapter in the series, with a few big setpieces and a lot of very repetitive action in between. It squeezes in one-liners, guest appearances and fluid camerawork wherever possible, but the returns are thin for anyone who isn’t already invested in this series. Brothers and Enemies Picking up where Furious 6 left off, we open on a very pissed-off Jason Statham as he begins the grim process of taking revenge against those responsible for the death of his brother. ( His brother being Luke Evans’ character, the villain of the previous film.) Statham plays Deckard Shaw, a name that suggests, like the Deckard of Blade Runner, Statham is really playing an android. Or maybe he’s a Batman villain. How else to explain the fact that he’s basically super-smart, un-killable, and liable to show up at just the right time? The plot also incorporates an all-seeing surveillance device called the God’s Eye, essentially the 2.0 evolution of the surveillance system seen in The Dark Knight. It’s really just an excuse to stitch together a few action sequences, and for a government agent played by Kurt Russell to spout expository paragraphs. The plot could be accurately explained using five or six emoji (a few frowny faces, a car, a computer.
