MYST #4: Furious 7

Furious 7 is the newest of the Fast and Furious franchise that came out on April 3rd of this year. Now to start this post off there might be a few spoilers so if you haven't seen this PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. Now that we got that out of the way, the movie starts where Fast 6 left off. So this begins with Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) killing one of Dominic Toretto's (Vin Diesel) crew members. That's how we get this movie kicked off. For those who haven't seen Fast 6 here's the few word spoiler. Letty didn't die in Fast and Furious, she was taken to England with her memory lost due to a car accident caused by Owen Shaw's men. Owen Shaw is killed by Dom and Letty gets taken back to LA. Deckard Shaw is Owen's brother and he is looking to avenge his brothers death.       
From that comes The Rock's character Hobbs. He has been tracking this man since Owen was killed. When Hobbs first scene comes they chose to use a very long shot which is very unusual for the action filled movies these normally are. Of course it was a shot that was planned because guess who shows up in Hobbs' office in this long scene. I bet you guessed it, Deckard Shaw shows up and an action scene with a bunch of things breaking after getting shot in the background arises. After Shaw's visit with Hobbs he then calls Toretto and tells him that he sent the package on the front steps of his house and what else could it be? That's right you probably guessed a bomb and with that guess you are correct. 

This leads into Dom and Brian (Paul Walker) getting a few members of their old team back together for their last ride. From here on out it's a pretty typical Fast and Furious movie with some racing scenes then scenes of the team getting some sort of technology that oversees the world that Shaw gets his hands on. They then need to fight back at him with the different ideas that they have while driving around LA and blowing a lot of things up.

Though this movie has many different ups and downs and lots (lots) of action sequences the end of the movie is really what made the movie worth seeing. SPOILERS INCOMING. The end shows the team relaxing on the beach with Brian his wife and child playing while the others watch. As Dom starts walking away the Wiz Khalifa song See You Again starts queuing in the background and goes into a scene of Dom driving down the open road. Then he stops at the stop sign and Brian pulls up net to him and says "What you thought you could leave without saying goodbye?" then the sound cuts from the movie. See You Again still playing and Vin's voice over comes on and says this "I used to say I live my life a quarter mile at a time and I think that's why we were brothers - because you did too. No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter mile away or half way across the world. The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room, right here, right now. Salute mi familia. You'll always be with me. And you'll always be my brother." 




In my opinion this movie was very good overall I give it 5 out of 5 Ferraris.
