Fast and Furious 7, the start of a new direction for the franchise
“Fast and Furious 7” marks a significant change in the story of Dominic Toretto and his team. This film is particularly poignant because it includes the final performance of Paul Walker, who tragically died before filming was completed. The production used digital dubbing techniques and Walker’s brothers to complete its scenes. The plot follows Toretto and his family as they face a new enemy, Deckard Shaw, played by Jason Statham, seeking revenge for his brother. This entry in the series is distinguished by increased emotional intensity and even more spectacular action scenes, including the famous sequence of cars jumping from one skyscraper to another in Abu Dhabi. This film succeeded, to some extent, in redefining the franchise, introducing a more personal and emotional dimension while continuing to push the boundaries of cinematic action.
A saga always criticized, but never equaled
The “Fast and Furious” saga has often been the target of criticism, mainly for its scenarios considered unrealistic and its sometimes simplistic dialogues. In addition, the change in direction of the series leaving aside the street racing aspect disappointed more than one. However, that didn’t stop the franchise from becoming one of the most lucrative in cinematic history. When it was released, Fast 7 became the fifth highest-grossing film in cinema history! Each new opus attracts millions of spectators around the world, ensuring colossal revenues with each launch. From now on, fans appreciate the evolution of the characters and the increasing power of the action scenes, which become more and more daring as we advance in the saga. Despite divided opinions, the commercial success of the 7th part proves that the franchise has captured the attention and affection of a large audience, making it “a textbook case” in the film industry.
