One of their own is dead. Fans of the Fast & Furious knew this day was coming. Han had to go to Tokyo eventually. Less than two years ago, we were almost ready for that moment, but what no one saw coming was the tragic passing of Paul Walker. His death, changed everything. What do you do now? How do you pay your respects to Paul? Well, you rally, and make your story about one last ride. The last ride is special. The last ride is all about family. The last ride is an awesome tribute to Paul. Buckle up, it's go time.

I'm a huge Paul Walker fan. I've grown up with him. His death sucked. If you've never seen…

"This time it ain't just about being fast.”

James Wan, who is well known for directing horror films (The Conjuring and Saw), took over the seventh film in this franchise replacing Justin Lin who had been sitting on the director’s chair since the third installment.

Don't get me wrong, I like to turn my brain off and have fun; I just wish these movies gave me a little more in between the impressive action sequences. Overall the franchise is fun for the most part, which is mainly due to the cast.

Even though I'm not a big fan of the franchise, I was pretty excited for Furious 7 for two reasons: James Wan…

Review for Black Sheep Reviews:

“Cars can’t fly.” Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) explains to his child early on in Furious 7 – cars most certainly cannot fly, but that doesn’t stop these movies from making them. It’s hard to believe it’s only been four years since Fast Five (and director Justin Lin) reinvented the Fast films, turning the vigorously oblivious, melodramatic shlock with a penchant for vehicle-centric mayhem and homoerotic camaraderie into the weirdly superb action-franchise hybrid we now know it as. Appropriating the globetrotting pleasures of Mission Impossible, the suave charms of Bond and buddy-heist fun of Ocean’s 11, and doubling down on the good-natured earnestness and charisma the franchise has had since day one – the recent instalments…
