Worse, a Somalian terrorist called Jakarde, and a shady government official called "Mr. Nobody" are both competing to steal a computer terrorism program called God's Eye, that can turn any technological device into a weapon. Torretto must reconvene with his team to stop Shaw and retrieve the God's Eye program while caught in a power struggle between terrorists and the United States government.

Review: There's very little to write here that you don't already know. Furious 7 is badass. The action is imaginative and pushes the envelope. There are actions sequences and fights that you haven't seen exactly before. On top of the teeth gritting action, there's fun, there humour, there's heartfelt emotions. But, this movie is still somewhat different than the previous installments, due to James Wan, who was a fantastic director and had great camera shots in this. The fight scenes were awesome; the Statham and Rock fight is one of the best in the whole series. The audience was cheering and clapping through the whole film. The movie was also hilarious due to the comedic sides of Tyrese and Ludicrous. It was interesting to see how they dealt with Paul Walker, the CGI could've been better but I loved the way they used archive footage of him. Along with the action, there is a very emotional side to this movie. There are certain scenes that are very sad and one of them, Paul actually filmed before his death. Overall, this movie was packed with tons of action, badass one-liners, and a farewell to an amazing actor and person. It's a must watch for lovers of the Fast and Furious series, and for anyone who loves action movies.
