| Not as Fast, but god damn is it Furious |
I was never a follower of the Fast and Furious movies. I
always saw them as dumb, testosterone filled, adrenaline pumping action movies
that was all flash and no substance.
I was right to an extent of course, the first couple of films was just that. Fast cars, high speed action, scantly clad women, big muscly men, etc. It wasn't recently that I decided to hunker down with some friends and do a Fast and Furious marathon that would stretch from Fast Five up to the newly released Furious 7. I gotta say, Furious 7 is definitely a movie worth watching.

Fast Five and Furious 6 were pretty solid movies that
actually had an enjoyable cast, solid story and high octane action. I applaud
the ability to retroactively insert plot points into these movies that would
link the entire franchise together, like how Han goes to Tokyo for the events
of Tokyo Drift. It was really impressive and cleverly done. Furious 7 is like
the third movie in this supposed trilogy. Everything eventually comes full
circle and you’ll find yourself enjoying the continuing adventures of Brian O’Connor
(Paul Walker) and Dominic Torreto (Vin Diesel).
