Furious 7 directed by James Wan, starring Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordan Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Dwyane Johnson, and Kurt Russell.
An action movie franchise that has been saved and survived by sticking to the main theme of family.
All the action scenes and story line is completely over the top but I found myself not caring in the slightest as they movie sticks to the main focus of the series - family. I like how this series has created some interesting characters to follow up on this theme, along with people I wouldn't mind hanging out with. Another thing this series has been good at is giving the viewer a diverse group of people consisting of different cultures all with two common bonds - cars and family. But this series has done interesting things in reviving it's own life from a standard cop and robber story into turning the story around into heist movies. It has been all the better for it as these heist stories make more sense and give more flexibility with the themes and characters than just chasing each other around town.
Entertaining and worth a watch.
