Reviews & comments
Flicks, Steve Newall
flicksIt’s impossible to avoid the shadow that Walker casts over the film, but the constant awareness that he’s no longer with us mixes awkwardly with the film’s lack of anything really being at stake. Absent a sense of danger, the set pieces come off cartoonish, and while that delivers plenty of action for your buck, this could have used a story or some half-decent jokes, both of which are in short supply.\
Driving Miss Daisy
Fast & Furious 7 Wheel, I wasn’t expecting the epicness of ‘Braveheart’, but this latest instalment managed to keep me entertained as I’m sure it did with everyone that knows the contents of any film within the F&F franchise. Since the original “Gone in 60 Seconds” with Steve MacQueen was released in the 70’s, hoons have enjoyed watching the driving antics...
Done Well, Done Right
Unless you jumped on the FF franchise bandwagon already you are so far behind. This movie is made to give fans what they want, bigger action, fast cars, iconic sequences. The treatment of the late Paul Walker was done well, no awkward rewrites and a fitting tribute at the end. This movie series is the definition of popcorn films, you go to be entertained...
Variety
pressProvides both a satisfying chapter in the movies’ preeminent gearhead soap opera and a tactful, touching memorial to Walker.
Total Film
pressA nitro-fuelled thrill-ride that forms a fitting tribute to its blue-eyed bro.
Time Out
pressThe sheer sense of ludicrous, punch-the-air joie de vivre is impossibly infectious.
The Guardian
pressIts longevity is because it functions as much as a soap as an action flick.
Hollywood Reporter
pressAs stupendously stupid and stupidly diverting as it could have hoped to be had everything gone as planned.
Empire Magazine
pressA group more bulletproof than The Avengers, causing more mayhem than General Zod. Think Universal doesn't have a superhero franchise? Think again.
