"Furious 7," which is distributed by Universal Pictures, was shown in Australian theatres on April 2, 2015. It was shown in the U.S., Canada, UK and New Zealand on April 3, 2015. The film stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Tyrese Gibson and the late Paul Walker. Here is the "Furious 7" movie review including the best and worst moments of the film.

"Furious 7" was written by Chris Morgan and directed by James Wan. It was produced by Vin Diesel, Michael Fottrell and Neal H. Moritz. Its running time is 137 minutes. Bloomberg Business reports that the film’s budget is $190 million.

Its main plot is about Owen Shaw's (Luke Evans) brother Deckard Shaw (Statham) who is seeking revenge for Owen because the "Fast and Furious" gang left him in a coma. Meanwhile, Dominic, Mia, Letty, Brian and Roman Pearce, and Tej Parker are all in the U.S. after being pardoned by Hobbs in the previous film, "Fast & Furious 6."

Dominic teams up with Mr. Nobody (Russell) to prevent a terrorist named Mose Jakande (Djimon Hounsou) from getting a computer program called God's Eye. They also had to rescue the program's creator Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel). In turn, Mr. Nobody will help Dominic and his family to stop Shaw from hunting them down and killing them all.

The film as expected is action-packed with its fast cars, amazing stunts and various fight scenes. It also had some touching scenes especially towards the last part with a tribute to the late Paul Walker. Tyrese Gibson provided some light-hearted moments to balance all the action and drama in the film. It was also interesting to see Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) and Shad Moss/Bow Wow (Twinkie) from 2006's "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift." Below is a list of the best and worst moments of "Furious 7."
