Fast & Furious 7 (2015)
In this instalment, Dom (Vin), Brian (Paul) and their pals try to steal secret government software that tracks anyone on the planet using every camera on the planet. The chase to find this software takes them from London to LA, to the Middle East, with the gang also fending off Jason Statham’s super mean vengeful assassin character Deckard Shaw.
If Paul Walker’s face looks a little strange in some scenes, it’s because Paul died in a car crash with 75% of his scenes filmed. The “weird” Paul is his brother Caleb with a little CGI trickery.
Allie Gemmell from collider.com sums it up perfectly: “Furious 7 is the peak of this massive action franchise, where it manages to be bombastic and brash without yet being forced to jump the shark, and a perfect presentation of its foundational tenet that family is the most important institution in this life.”
