Furious 7 Labor of Love

Late November, 2013, tragedy struck, a beloved man father and friend passed away and in that moment a franchise that has given us thrills, chills an all around good time for the past decade came to a screeching halt, because one of its key members dies a car accident in Los Angeles, California.  If you haven't guessed by the title I am speaking for the first time about Paul Walker.  He was a private man who had a beautiful daughter Meadow, two loving parents and brothers.  He pasted away after a benefit for his foundation Reach Out Worldwide.  This evening I went and saw his last movie that was ever made Furious Seven.  Yes it was done out of love and an effort for closure and to give the world the one thing he loved more than anything, entertainment, full throttle agility, edge of your seat action, and handsome men, and beautiful ladies.  Vin Diesel helped to rewrite and produce a movie, as a way to say good bye to his brother, who is in heaven but will never be forgotten.  The movie was filled with more action than is legal on a screen.  Tyrese brought his usual humor, Ludacris brought the sexy and perfect one liners, Michelle and Jordana just made the movie complete.  It would not have been a movie with out this cast to complete it from beginning to end.  Also, for the doubles you had Casey and Cody Walker to round it out.  This was about family and fighting for what you believe in and making enemies pay, and looking good doing it.  This movie is a must see, and I know this is the last one, but you can tell that the entire team on this movie put everything in to this to make it the best of the franchise.  I will never forget the first Fast & the Furious when you got introduced to the characters of Brian, Letty, Dom, and Mia, to the second one with Roman Pierce, and Tej, and bringing back Brian.  I know they tried to tie in Tokyo Drift with the entire franchise which I am definitely not mad about but it still has nothing on the rest of the films and the original people that became a family off screen.  You can see the chemistry and the love, and I personally have the greatest respect for what Vin Diesel did in the end of the movie, it was touching and truly from the heart.  They also brought in some heavy weights like Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Djimon Hounsou.  Again this movie is definitely one to watch, but thats just My Opinion, whats yours???????
