The Critic's Corner: Fast And Furious 7


A while ago i went to see the fast and furious 7 in the cinema and i have to say i got uch more than i initially anticipated. I have seen all the prequels so i expected some unrealistic, non-sensical stunts that would be painful to watch but my oh my did i underestimate the producers of the franchise, they went overboard on this movie, like the whole movie was a 2-hour insult to the intelligence of all the movie viewers. The director basically gave physics the middle finger and went on to set the movie in a probable dream world like inception (only way the stunts make sense).
Stuff "badass" Dominic Toretto and his fam did to defy all things sane:
  • They jumped out of an airplane in their cars and landed on a narrow hillside road using a parachute with the accuracy of a butterfly landing on a flower.
  • They had their cars shot at with armor piercing rounds from several manchine guns which punctured holes in their vehicles but they walked out unscathed while same guns cause an enemy vehicle to explode on impact.
  • Dom drove a car off a very high cliff and survived without injury of any kind (not even a bloody headache).
  • Dom and his nemesis intentionally had head on collisions with their high speed vehichles on two occasions and again no injury to either party.
  • They evaded fire from a chopper with motor skills such as driving in straight lanes for extended periods and randomly shaking the steering wheel (the only reason the chopper should have missed is if it was being handled by a toddler).
  • They jumped out of speeding vehicles like they were diving into the pool.
  • Dom got hit on the head with a heavy metal that could probably break rocks swung with a lot of force and didn't even flinch.
  • The Rock (buff son of a gun) broke a POP just by flexing his muscles.
  • Bad guy Statham survived a building collapse which should hav obviously had him crushed by reinforced concrete without serious injury.
  • And The Rock holding a huge machine gun on an open road without cover whatsoever had a standoff with a chopper (a fucking copper) and won.

And this movie has grossed over $1 billion worldwide. They turned the tragic death of Paul Walker into a huge profit, cause really the movie was shit and there's gonna be a bloody sequel to the sequel of the sequel of the sequel's sequel's sequel, gimme a break.
