"Furious 7" is the fuel-injected fusion of all that is and ever has been good in "The Fast and the Furious" saga that began in 2001 with souped-up cars and a stripped-down story about a tightknit East L.A. street racing crew," said Los Angeles Times's Betsey Sharkey.
"Who would have thought that a series addicted to the high of movement could also summon a solemnity that leaves you moved?" said Grantland's Wesley Morris.
"The film follows an exceedingly well-traveled road, though the formula-a crew of racer-adventurers who put dual premiums on speed and family values-has been spiked with ever more spectacular, or preposterous, effects," said Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern.
The movie cast is as follows: actor Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner, Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty, Jordana Brewster as Mia, Tyrese Gibson as Roman, Ludacris as Tej, and Dwayne Johnson as Hobbs.
Walker died two years ago in a car crash on Nov. 30, delaying the completion of the film. His brothers Caleb and Cody stood-in for his scenes. The cast and crew had tributes to Walker's death before the film release. The film ends with the message, "For Paul."
Chris Morgan wrote and James Wan directed the film. The producers of the film are Neal H. Mortiz and Vin Diesel. Box Office Mojo reports that the film scored an estimated $67.3 million on opening day.
