Following a slight dip in form with number 6 the Furious
gang return in Paul Walker’s final film and they are up against Jason Statham
who plays the brother of a previous adversary who is out for revenge.
The action kicks off from the start as we are treated to an
excellent battle between Statham and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s FBI Agent.
From there the fists keep flying along with extravagant car chases and big gun
battles culminating in a city wide trail of destruction.
If you are a fan of the series you will love this, it even
manages to close the silly time loop that excluded the Tokyo Drift movie so
Lucas Black gets an appearance, albeit a cameo.
Martial-arts star Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak) also appears and adds
much to the already top-notch action. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker deliver their
standard but always terrific turns and there is hardly time to take a breath
until this instalment comes to a moving conclusion.
Catch it in cinemas now.
Ric’s Rating: Essential
I thought it was awesome and a fitting tribute to Walker.
