2015 * PG-13 * 2h 17m I've seen a bunch of the "Fast & Furious" films and they're all just wall to wall action. Perfect for a night when you just want to shut your brain off and enjoy some cheap thrills. Actually, I thought the one that took place in Japan was really dumb and had to turn it off after about 20 minutes.
This one is about Deckard Shaw (Jason Stathem) looking for revenge against Dominic Toretto (Vin Deisel) and the rest of the gang for his comatose brother. It's so over the top it isn't funny. Just about ever scene is either a barrage of bullets and explosions, a hand-to-hand combat sequence, or a balls out racing scene. And it never lets down for two hours and seventeen minutes. It's also the last film that starred Paul Walker. He was in a fatal car crash before the movie was finished, but they managed to complete it without him.
There was a definite note of sadness at the conclusion of the movie, which was dedicated to him in the closing credits. If you're looking for one of the most adrenaline pumping films of all time, don't miss this one.
It's on Netflix and Tubi (for free) and to rent on YouTube, Amazon, Fandango, and other streaming services.
4 out of 5 stars
