Luke Hobbs is sitting in a hospital room in a cast, wrist to shoulder, watching old highlights of himself (Dwayne Johnson) playing football at the University of Miami (very funny). He turns to his daughter and says, “Daddy’s gotta go to work!”, flexes, breaks his cast and rips it off. Seriously?!

That’s why I went to this movie.

I went for the cheesy Dominic Torretto lines (“I don’t have friends, I got family”), the incredible action scenes (Brian O’Connor running up the side of a bus falling off a cliff) and the almost believable but slightly terrible storyline.

The momentum this franchise has developed is historic. This allows us to be content or even excited with the “oh crap, I guess the characters have to say something” writing style as cars go flying through the air like seagulls. I mean, why not?

With a nice tribute to Paul Walker closing the movie, Furious 7 sets the cruise control to slightly above average, coasting to 3.1 out of 5 napkins.
