Review: Fast & Furious 7 (2015)

Rating: 8.0 of 10

Furious 7 (obviously my preferred alternate title), naturally, is the 7th installment of Fast & Furious franchise, and every ounce of it just oozes everything we have come know and love of the franchise. TL;DR Basically if you love the previous movies you'll love this one, and if you loathe those films then... why are you watching this one anyway? The franchise, which had lived for an outstanding 14 years, had the money-making formula down to a science (it had to if it wants to stay on top of box office), but still managed to scramble new things from here and there. So let me break down the formula for you.

Family Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) is all about family, a principle that he had carried from even back then in the first movie. The previous movie was quite clever at inventing a villain the exact opposite of Dom: someone that meant business and only business. In 7, the reversal was reversed again. This time, the villain Deckard Shaw (the always intimidating Jason Statham) was loyal to his family as much as Dom to his own, avenging his brother who died in the hands of our protagonist. In Dom's side, the loss of Han was palpable and a gaping hole was left, in the way that is rarely felt in an action-based movie when a brother was lost.

Insane car chases + amazing fights The theme this week is flying cars, ladies and gentlemen! Seriously, I've never seen that many cars flying in the air in any single movie, ever. It was like the writers were talking about how to make the car chase sequences exciting again, and one of them exclaimed in a half joking manner, "We make them fly!" and lightbulbs lit up in every one of them, scrambling to write ideas in their teeny tiny notebook. And every single moment of it was glorious. Was it realistic? Abso-freakin'-lutely not. But do we care? Not in the slightest.

The man-on-man (or woman, either way) combats were great too. It also includes incredible hand-to-hand combat between Vin Diesel and Jason Statham because otherwise, why the hell do you hire both of them in the same movie. And Dwayne Johnson firing machine guns to conclude things, because reasons. But my favorite moment was not even a fight, it was when Dom and Shaw goes on head to head with their car, and nobody flinched. It wasn’t only crazy, it was a great character moment too, showing how determined and relentless they both were.

The action sequences does run a bit heavy and long, leaving very little time for proper plotting or character building, but for the most part they still tread the line between excitement and overabundance pretty carefully.

Scantily clad women Some of you might be lying if you say you didn't come to watch Fast & Furious (aside for the cars, obviously)for the girls in bikinis who are not anywhere near a pool. The good news for you that do: yes, there are those girls. The good news for me and the ones that don't come for them: they were shot in such over-the-top way that I'm pretty sure they were added as a kind of mockery. It was bullsh*t and the movie knows it. Especially when there was a scene in the same movie in which Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) rescued Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) after unsuccessful attempt by other guys, then Ramsey asks, "But who's gonna rescue us!?" and Letty answers in the most reassuring, "Nope, we're it." In this universe, women rule too.

Everybody's a badass It came to my attention that Fast & Furious is one of few action franchises that is truly inclusive. Everybody, not limited to race, age, and gender, can be a badass: from the furiously skilled Thai villain (Tony Jaa); a blonde, female bodyguard backed up by uniformed women in hijab; a female Spanish FBI agent; to middle-aged white guy (Kurt Russell), all had chance to shine. In a more intellectual role, there's also the English, woman-of-color hacker Ramsey. I was glad to see that Furious 7 followed the same pattern that the previous movies started.

Goodbye Paul Walker (mild spoiler) The biggest blow to the movie was the sudden death of Paul Walker who played main protagonist, Brian O'Connor. The filming was completed with the help of his brother as stand-in and CGI (yes, it was still as creepy as when Tron: Legacy tried to pull it off with CGI Jeff Bridges), but the result was a very sweet coda. Brian was shown retiring from his dangerous life to live with his happy family—his story concluded with a peaceful drive with his "brother" Dom. It was particularly heartbreaking if you realize that when Dom said he'd never say goodbye to Brian because he's his brother, probably Vin Diesel really meant it for Paul Walker too (they were really close in real life to, to my knowledge). Also heartbreaking: when they were in Han's funeral and they were all saying, "No more funerals." Damn, if only we knew.

As of now, Fast & Furious 8 might be happening in the future, even without Paul Walker. Like they said in the movie, it will be different, but hopefully it will be just as fun.

Hey!

I read some of your fast and furious imagines and I have to say they’re really well-written and super cute!

And since I saw you were taking requests, i thought i’d throw my hat in the ring for more fast and furious content :)

Anyway, my request is a brian x fem!reader where they both like each other and dom basically becomes brian’s wingman and helps them get together? I thought it was a cute and funny concept (haha) ☁️

Movie: Fast And The Furious  Love interest: Brian O'Connor

Request: up top

Some info before start: (Y/N) = your name (Y/F/N) = your full name (H/C) = your hair color (H/L) = your hair length (E/C) = your eye color (F/C) = your favorite color

Hey!

"Why Dom?! You know I hate dates... and then you still got me set up on a date! But let's not forget it's one of your friends!" You huffed. You stood in the Toretto house, in front of Dom. Arms crossed and looking like an angry bomb that could explode any moment. When you walked inside you walked straight up to Dominic and began yelling at him. Letty, Mia, Vince, Leon, and Jesse immediately left the house, because they have all been in Dom's situation just for another reason, except Jesse he has only experienced it.

"It's good for you to meet new people," Dom said calmly, too calm for your liking.

Then you got an idea.

"Fine, but I get to use your car for the rest of the month." Dom nodded after a few minutes of silence.

You turned with a smirk on your face and walked out of the house towards your car. The others stood leaning against their cars and just looked at you. You got in your car and turned the ignition on, it roared to life and speed off way over the speed limit.

You drove home, took a bath, brushed your teeth, and changed clothes. You drove to the destination where your date was. You saw a Toyota Supra there reminded you of Brian.

When you first met Brian your stomach erupted into butterflies and since then you have had a crush on the golden-haired boy. You got out of the car and took a look around.

There was a small cafe where Dom said my 'date' would be waiting. You took a deep breath and walked inside. You were hit with warm and a cozy feeling. You looked around and noticed that there was only one person in the cafe... Brian O'Conner. You walked closer to him and he lifted his head to meet my gaze.

"(Y/N), what are you doing here?" Brian asked.

"I have a date here, Dom said that my date would be here."

"Funny, Dom said the same to me. Sit down," he gestured to the chair across from him. You sat down and began talking and ordered coffee.

After two hours of talking to Brian, he paid for the coffees. You and Brian walked hand-in-hand outside and down a little path. Brian stopped walking and turned to look at you. You turned to meet his gaze and smiled at him.

His face inched closer to yours and you met in the middle and kissed his soft lips. You closed your eyes and he inched closer to you and held your waist. Your arms wrapped around his neck and pressed him closer to you.

He broke the kiss and looked deep into your opened eyes.

"(Y/N)... will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course I will goldie locks." Before he had the chance to kiss you, you kissed him hard.

Hey!

♫ I know it's short, but I hope you like it! ♫ ♫ Love: your writer Crabat♫
