Then it stops, says goodbye to Paul Walker, and for five minutes becomes a different and better film. ## Synopsis Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) wants Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew dead for what they did to his brother. He has already killed one of them in Tokyo, left Agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) in a hospital bed and sent a parcel bomb to the Toretto house in Los Angeles. Dom cannot find him. A government man who calls himself Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) offers a trade: rescue the hacker Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) from the mercenary Mose Jakande (Djimon Hounsou), recover the surveillance programme she wrote, and Dom may use it to locate Shaw. So the crew, with Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), drop their cars by parachute from a transport plane over the Caucasus Mountains to meet the convoy carrying her. ## Review Seven films in, a series that began with men stealing DVD players from lorries has arrived at a plot in which a government agent (Kurt Russell) sends a street racer to recover software that can see through every camera on earth. Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) wants revenge for his brother, and the only way to find him is to run Russell’s errand first. *Furious 7* is the biggest, loudest and least coherent entry yet, and for five minutes at the end it is also the one with the most feeling in it. We had a good time and could not tell you much of what happened. Two set pieces are the reason to be here. In the first, the crew drives its cars out of a cargo plane and parachutes them onto a mountain road. Stephen F. Windon and Marc Spicer put cameras on the bonnets and inside the cabins, so we fall with the cars, and shoot the road in clear daylight with a drop on one side we never forget. We laughed when the first car cleared the ramp. The second, in Abu Dhabi, puts Dom and Brian in a borrowed supercar at the top of a tower and sends them out of the window into the next tower, and then the one after that. Bill Brzeski’s penthouse, white marble and gold, is built to be driven through. James Wan does what he can with the rest. He shoots the fights with a camera that rolls over as the bodies do, so when Dwayne Johnson’s Hobbs puts Statham through a glass table the whole room turns with him. It works once. Four editors are credited, Dylan Highsmith, Kirk M. Morri, Christian Wagner and Leigh Folsom Boyd, and the film cuts as if shared out between them: a punch, a face, a boot, a face, rarely two seconds without a join. Tony Jaa, who can do this for real, is chopped so fine we never see one move finish. Brian Tyler’s score thumps at the same level whether a car is falling or two people are talking. Vin Diesel delivers each line about family as if laying a wreath. Statham is the best villain the series has had and Chris Morgan’s script does not know what to do with him, so he keeps arriving at the end of other people’s scenes like a bus, firing a few rounds and leaving. Djimon Hounsou’s Jakande is a second villain with a helicopter and no character. Nathalie Emmanuel’s Ramsey, the hacker who built the thing, spends most of the film being carried from one car to another. Russell has the most fun, turning up with a cold beer like a man who has read Dom’s file and enjoyed it. Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris bicker as before, and it has worn thin. Then there is Paul Walker, who died in a car crash in November 2013 midway through filming. It was finished with doubles and digital work, and mostly we could not tell; once or twice Brian keeps his face from the camera a beat too long. The script gives him quiet scenes with Jordana Brewster’s Mia about whether a man with a small son should still be doing this, and they are thin on the page, and it does not matter. The last few minutes step outside the story to say goodbye to him; we will not describe them. We had spent two hours not much caring who lived, and then we were crying in a 12A about a car. *Fast Five* (2011) found the formula, a heist and a safe dragged through Rio, and it still has the best action in the series because you could follow it. *Furious 7* has more of everything and less of that. It runs 138 minutes, twenty too many, and the fat is in the Los Angeles finale, where a drone shoots up a car park as if the film had forgotten Abu Dhabi. See it with people who like the earlier films. Stay for the ending, which does something none of the other six managed, and which the rest of this one has not quite earned. *Fi1m score 66, published 5 October 2026.* ## What the critics say Most critics like Furious 7, and none of the twenty-eight reviews is negative. The praise gathers in two places. The first is the farewell to Paul Walker, which almost every review calls sincere and moving, even those cool on the rest of the film. The second is the scale of the set pieces: the cars dropped from a plane and the Abu Dhabi tower jump are named again and again as the highlights. Several reviews credit James Wan’s direction with keeping it all lively. The reservations are mild and familiar: a plot nobody follows, dialogue nobody admires, and a runtime most would trim. A few go further on the craft, finding the editing frantic and the camerawork crude. The Guardian is the harshest, calling the film excessive and technically messy while admitting the ending moved it, and /Film finds the action repetitive. Time Out thinks the sentiment is laid on too thick. The spread is narrow; the argument is over how much to forgive. ## Straight answers **Is Furious 7 worth watching?** *Furious 7* is worth watching if you already like the series and can forgive a film you cannot always follow, and we scored it 66. Two set pieces, cars parachuting onto a mountain road and a supercar driven between skyscrapers, earn the ticket, and the fights are cut so fast they turn to mush. Stay for the last five minutes, which say goodbye to Paul Walker and carry more feeling than the rest of the film put together. **How long is Furious 7, and what is it rated?** *Furious 7* runs 2h 18m and is rated 16 by the PISF in Poland. It is an action and crime film. **Where can I watch Furious 7 in Poland?** *Furious 7* is streaming on SkyShowtime, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Netflix in Poland, and it is also available to rent from Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV from zł 9.99. Availability is checked daily; the links above go straight to each service. **How violent or frightening is Furious 7, and is it suitable for children?** *Furious 7* is a 12A, and its violence is loud, constant and almost entirely bloodless: punches, car crashes, gunfire and a drone shooting up a car park, none of it lingering. There is nothing frightening in it, and nothing that would trouble a child used to superhero films, though the pace may wear small ones out. The ending, a farewell to Paul Walker, may upset adults more than children. **How does Furious 7 compare to Fast & Furious 6?** *Furious 7* is louder, bigger and less coherent than [*Fast & Furious 6*](https://film.one/film/fast-and-furious-6), and the earlier film is the better built of the two. The sixth has the tank on the motorway and action you can follow; the seventh has the plane drop and the skyscraper jump, chopped so fine the fights blur. Both run twenty minutes too long. Choose the sixth for the set pieces and the seventh for its ending. **Do you need to have seen the other Fast & Furious films before Furious 7?** *Furious 7* is not a good place to start, because its plot and its ending both depend on what came before. The villain is avenging a brother from the sixth film, and the crew's history is assumed rather than explained. The action can be enjoyed cold, but the farewell to Paul Walker in the last minutes only lands if you have spent earlier films with Brian O'Conner. **What should I watch after Furious 7?** After *Furious 7*, try [*Mad Max: Fury Road*](https://film.one/film/mad-max-fury-road) (2015, Fi1m 88): One long car chase, shot so you always know where everyone is. Then [*Ronin*](https://film.one/film/ronin) (1998, Fi1m 80): Frankenheimer’s Paris chases, real cars at real speed, no parachutes required; and [*The Raid*](https://film.one/film/the-raid) (2011, Fi1m 83): What Tony Jaa’s kind of fighting looks like when the editor lets it finish. **What order should I watch the Fast & Furious films in?** Release order is the safe choice for Fast & Furious, and it is the order [our collection page](https://film.one/collections/fast-and-furious) lists them in. *Furious 7* is number 5 of the 9 Fast & Furious titles on Fi1m; before it comes [*Fast & Furious 6*](https://film.one/film/fast-and-furious-6) and after it [*The Fate of the Furious*](https://film.one/film/the-fate-of-the-furious).
