Fast & Furious 7 : Movie review


 Fast and Furious.. yet emotional 


The movie tributes Paul walker who has been the most important character very next to Vin Diesel. 
It’s a treat for all the car lovers and the followers of the fast and furious franchise.  Have to admit that it was Fast and Furious series which showed us the unseen fast cars, American Muscle power, Classy Drifts, Drags, cop chase and crazy plans of robbery.

To start with, it gives me Goosebumps to see Jason Statham to be part of the crew, Statham(Shaw) plays the role of a big bad brother of Owen Shah who was hit by the Dom crew in the last edition. His motto is plain and simple.. To destroy Dom's Family.

There is another group of gangsters just to keep them in the game who kidnaps Ramsey(a lady hacker role which Deepika Padukone had refused) who has invented 'Gods Eye' a surveillance/tracking device. Kurt Russell played as Mr.Nobody has a job for Dom and the crew to save her. As Dom says 'this time it aint just about being  fast' which explains there is lot more than just a drag or drift, A sky dive of cars to touch down the unreacheable roads, breathtaking run of O'Connor from the falling bus and Letty's full drift to pick him up.. Goodness I was on the edge of my seat. Not to forgot Gibson's humor makes you laugh out every moment.
Post ramsay rescue, they pull off to Abu Dhabi..to get the chip from a trustworthy friend... (remember Joy Lobo from 3 Idiots) Here starts luxury when the crew gets into the most secured towers to steal the chip. Just forget all the laws of physics and watch this scene for the classiest car jump ever in Hollywood.  
The Lykan HyperSport $3.4 Million was worth every penny to be jumped from the triple towers.
With the help of Gods eye Dom finds Shaw and gets rattled by the Gangsters looking for the Gods eye. The crew gets back to their own lands for the final battle against Shaw and the gangsters.
The moment Dom steps inside his own garage you will lean forward and whistle when he uncovers the epic  Dodge Charger he is been carrying all through the series.

The final battle
Dom vs Shaw -- The Battle of the year which we have all been waiting for, Aston martin Vs Dodge Charger, the gladiator moment when both rushing into each other. Just when you get disappointed that Dom doesn’t do a wheelie… there it is .. Boom.. A wheelie just when its about to hit... No other movie in this world can give you this. A street fight with heavy rods suited the players better than a gun.

Gangsters vs the Dom crew - The Drone which follows up to kill Ramsey is a chase worth watching. Car to Car shift while it drifts though it looked impossible  but shot well taken.
 
The Rock - Cant miss Dwayne Rock Johnson fighting Statham and that one freaking ''rock bottom'' he smacks where the camera rolls the same way…..Mind-Blown..Best rock bottom ever.

To the end - It’s a respectful thing that the movie didn’t kill Paul, he lives in everyone's memory as a Good hearted drive crazy cop. To be honest I din know they have cast his brother Cody as his Body double to complete the rest of the scenes after his demise, until I read about it post movie. Thanks to technology !!!
Its truly emotional to watch the last 5minutes.

To rate - 4 out of 5 Though there is no much script in the movie which we cant expect in this genre, it kept me intact for every scene as its loaded with action. Not too many cars shown yet it dint make difference cos this time it was just not about cars. Kudos to the creative cinematography.
Best dialogue of the movie - I am the cavalry

Future of F&F - Hoping they wont stop the series, Since Stathom can replace Paul's exit.
