Furious 7



Directed by James Wan and screenplay by Chris Morgan from characters created by Gary Scott Thompson, Furious 7 is the story of Dominic Torretto, Brian O’Conner, and the rest of their family being hunted down by an assassin wanting vengeance while the team tries to recover a computer chip with the aid of the chip‘s designer. The film is a revenge film of sorts where it’s the good guys that are being hunted where they have to go after the hunter before he kills them all. Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne Johnson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Elsa Pataky, Djimon Hounsou, Kurt Russell, Nathalie Emmanuel, Ronda Rousey, Tony Jaa, Lucas Black, and Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw. Furious 7 is a wild and exhilarating film from James Han.

Picking up where the last film leaves off, it revolves around a group of drivers who consider themselves family where the events in the last mission have them being hunted by a former assassin in Deckard Shaw whose brother Owen (Luke Evans) was crippled and left in a coma by Dominic Torretto (Vin Diesel) and his team. For Torretto, the recent death of one of his friends and the attempt on the life of him and his family forces him to find Shaw and stop him as he is aided by a covert ops agent named Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) to stop Shaw and retrieve a computer software chip that has surveillance on everyone known as God’s Eye. With Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker), Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman Pierce (Tyrese Gibson), and Tej Parker (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges) on the team while Mia Torretto (Jordana Brewster) is at a safe house in the Dominican Republic and DSS agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) recuperating from an attack from Shaw that nearly killed him. Torretto is forced to deal with someone that is dangerous.

While the script is very simple, there is a lot that is happening as it relates to the characters as Letty struggles to regain bits of her lost memories while O’Conner is also coping with being a father as he is unaware that Mia is pregnant again. It adds a lot to what is at stake where it’s not just Torretto needing to make sure that his family stays together following the loss of key members as well as those like O’Conner who has another life that is far more important. Adding to these elements of what is stake where the team has to retrieve the designer of this software named Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) who has been captured by friends of Shaw that wants God’s Eye so they can use it for themselves. The chip is a MacGuffin but it does play into a lot of what needs to be done where it is a good plot device while screenwriter Chris Morgan also provides some laughs and dramatic moments that do give the film some depth but also not take itself so seriously.

James Wan’s direction is definitely stylish as he doesn’t really do anything new in terms of what is expected in compositions and action sequences. Yet, he does manage to do a lot more in the latter where it borders the line of ridiculous and insanity but all in a very fun way. Shot in various locations such as Los Angeles, Abu Dhabi, Tokyo, and some shots in Atlanta and mountains in Colorado, the film has a global feel that is massive where Wan does take advantage of the locations while maintaining something that plays into a world where everything is in danger. The usage of wide and medium shots are prevalent throughout while Wan also maintains an intimacy for the non-action scenes where he knows where to give the audience a break on the action and establish what is going on and what needs to be done. The action sequences are intense as it adds to a lot of what is at stake while it also play into moments that are just unbelievable. Yet, it is so fun where has this energy that is just potent where it’s not just about car chases and violence but also the thrill of it. While the film’s ending is poignant as it relates to a key character in the franchise, it at least gives that character a fitting send-off. Overall, Wan creates a fun and exciting film about a bunch of street racers fighting against some crazed assassin.

Cinematographers Stephen F. Windon and Marc Spicer do excellent work with the cinematography in not just giving the many different locations a distinct look in its lighting but also employ elements of heightened lighting for scenes in Abu Dhabi as well as the scenes at night for Los Angeles. Editors Christian Wagner, Dylan Highsmith, Kirk Morri, and Leigh Folsom Boyd do amazing work in the editing where it does rely on fast-cutting techniques but it doesn’t go overboard while managing to establish what is going on while knowing when to slow things down. Production designer Bill Brzeski, with set decorator Danielle Berman and supervising art director Desma Murphy, does fantastic work with the look of the house that Dominic has lived most of his life as well as the workshop that Mr. Nobody plans everything while the rooms inside the Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers has this air of richness. Costume designer Sanja Milkovic Hays does nice work with the costumes as it’s mostly casual with the exception of the scenes in Abu Dhabi where everyone looked sharp including the ladies.

Special effects supervisor Daniel Sudick and visual effects supervisors Mark Curtis, Martin Hill, Kelvin McIlwain, Karen Murphy, and Mike Wassel do brilliant work with some of the special effects in the action sequences as well as some unique visual effects for the O’Conner character thanks in part from the work of stand-ins in Walker’s brothers Caleb and Cody. Sound designers Peter Brown, Stephen P. Robinson, and Ann Scibelli, along with sound editor Joe Dzuban, do superb work with the sound in creating the power of the engines as well as the sounds of gunfire and planes. The film’s music by Brian Tyler is wonderful for its mixture of orchestral music, electronic, and hip-hop as it plays into the frenetic world of street racing as well as the parties the characters go to as it is bombastic but also has its somber moments.

The casting by Anne McCarthy and Kellie Roy is terrific as it features some notable small roles from Ali Fazal as a friend of Ramsey in Abu Dhabi, John Brotherton as Mr. Nobody’s aide, Luke Evans as the comatose Owen Shaw, Noel Gugliemi as the street-race organizer Hector, Lucas Black as Fast & Furious 3 protagonist Sean Boswell who gives Torreto some belongings of the character Han, Tony Jaa as a henchman friend of Shaw, Miller and Charlie Kimsey as Brian and Mia’s son Jack, and Eden Estrella as Hobbs’ young daughter who provides some funny moments. Other notable small roles include Elsa Pataky in a wonderful role as associate and Hobbs’ new partner Elena Neves who watches over the injured Hobbs while Ronda Rousey is superb as security head for a billionaire in Abu Dhabi who fets into a brawl with Letty. Nathalie Emmanuel is excellent as Ramsey as a computer software designer who is rescued by Torretto and his team as she helps them retrieve the program she designed. Djimon Hounsou is fantastic as Shaw’s friend in mercenary Mose Jakande as a man that wants the God’s Eye software.

Kurt Russell is great as Mr. Nobody as a government agent who fills in for the injured Hobbs as helps Torretto and the gang to try and capture Shaw while Dwayne Johnson is brilliant as Luke Hobbs as a DSS agent who is confronted by Shaw and is nearly killed only to get angry when he returns for its climax. Jordana Brewster is amazing as Mia Torretto as Dom’s sister and Brian’s partner who stays home from the action as she has news for Brian that would force him to make a big decision. Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Tyrese Gibson are hilarious in their respective roles as Tej and Roman as the two comic reliefs with Tej as the tech guy and Roman as the man with the big mouth. Michelle Rodriguez is phenomenal as Letty as Dom’s lover who is trying to recover her memory from the past while helping out the team where she gets herself into a brawl with a mean security head.

Jason Statham is incredible as Deckard Shaw as this former assassin who is a total loose cannon that is extremely pissed off and is not afraid in whoever he meets as he is a true antagonist and possibly the one person that can match everyone toe-to-toe. In one of his final performance, Paul Walker is marvelous as Brian O’Conner as a former cop/agent who is trying to adjust to family life while doing what he can to help Dom while coming to terms that his life of adventure might be coming to an end as it’s a fitting send-off to the actor with the aid of his brothers Caleb and Cody as stand-ins. Finally, there’s Vin Diesel in a remarkable role as Dominic Torretto as a street racer trying to protect his family from Shaw as he deals with the loss of a few friends and trying to get Letty back on her feet.

Furious 7 is a sensational film from James Wan. Armed with a great cast, thrilling action sequences, and an engaging story. The film isn’t just another high watermark for the franchise but it’s also a film that gives the late Paul Walker a fitting send-off for himself and the Brian O’Conner character. In the end, Furious 7 is a phenomenal film from James Wan.

Flags of Our Fathers




Based on the book by James Bradley and Ron Powers, Flags of Our Fathers is the story of the three surviving servicemen who raised the flag during the battle of Iwo Jima as they deal with the aftermath of war as well as being called heroes. Directed by Clint Eastwood and screenplay by Paul Haggis and William Broyles Jr., the film is part of a double-feature that both concern the battle of Iwo Jima as this film focuses on the American side as three men deal with the war and its aftermath. Starring Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford, Adam Beach, Paul Walker, Jamie Bell, Barry Pepper, John Benjamin Hickey, Joseph Cross, John Slattery, Neal McDonough, Melanie Lynskey, Thomas McCarthy, and Robert Patrick. Flags of Our Fathers is a harrowing yet gripping war-drama from Clint Eastwood.

The film is about the iconic image of six men raising the American flag on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima as it’s told from the perspective of a former Navy serviceman who thinks about the battle and its aftermath where he and his surviving Marine fighters went on tour to help sell war bonds. It’s a film that moves back-and-forth from the battle of Iwo Jima to what John “Doc” Bradley (Ryan Phillippe) would encounter during his tour of the U.S. selling war bonds with surviving Marines in Rene Gagnon (Jesse Bradford) and Ira Hayes (Adam Beach). Throughout the course of the film, Bradley recalls memories of the battle of Iwo Jima where he lost a lot of friends while trying to save those as the Navy doctor. At the same time, he thinks about the tour he is in with Gagnon and Hayes as the latter descends into grief and alcoholism while controversy arises over who were the other three that raised the flag.

The film’s screenplay doesn’t aim for a conventional narrative as it’s partially-nonlinear in order for the older Bradley (George Grizzard) to reflect as his son James (Thomas McCarthy) would look into the stories about his father and why his dad had never told him about the war. Yet, the young Bradley would be the most reserved person who goes on tour as he just maintains a low profile while Gagnon and Hayes would both diverge into different paths as the former hopes the tour would give him opportunities after the war. Still, Bradley and Hayes are haunted by the battle in Iwo Jima as they reflect on their encounter and how their friends were killed. The film’s second act has a parallel storyline in which the survivors go on tour while James Bradley goes on his own journey to find out what happened in Iwo Jima as well as stories about the men who raised that flag on Mount Suribachi.

The script doesn’t just explore the world of war bonds as well as men’s struggle with the aftermath of war. It also plays into the mystery of that iconic image where one soldier’s name is mistaken as it creates some confusion until Hayes and Bradley would clear it up as it would make things more uncomfortable. Upon the script’s third act where Hayes’ descent becomes more evident as well as the growing discomfort among himself and Bradley in being called heroes. There is also the fates that plays into the three survivors as well as what James Bradley would discover as well as why his father had been very silent for so many years.

Clint Eastwood’s direction is quite versatile considering what he wanted to do where it is a war film in respect but it’s also a drama where he does maintain a balance with the different tones and multiple stories in the narrative. There is a sense of brutality that emerges in the battle scenes where Eastwood uses hand-held cameras and steadicams to capture its intensity and terror. While Eastwood isn’t trying to say anything new that’s been seen or heard before, he does however maintain that idea about war and its after-effects where many who fought in battle refuse to call themselves heroes. For the scenes where Bradley, Gagnon, and Hayes go on the road to sell war bonds, there is an intimacy in the direction but also an understated melancholia that is prevalent.

There is an elegance to the way Eastwood creates some of the moments of the tour as it’s quite lavish but also unsettling considering what the three survivors have to endure as they’re being pushed into the public spotlight. Eastwood wouldn’t go for close-ups as he would favor medium shots and wide shots to capture the period of the times as well as putting his actors into a frame to see how they react to certain situations. Particularly as Eastwood would convey that intimacy for James Bradley’s story as it would piece everything together as well as showcase the sacrifice Bradley’s father made for his country and for the people who would never have to fight a war. Overall, Eastwood crafts a very poignant yet powerful film about war and their reaction to being called heroes.

Cinematographer Tom Stern does excellent work with the film’s stylish cinematography with his tinted, blue-green look for some of moments in the tour while maintaining a gritty look for its battle scenes as it’s shot on hand-held cameras while taking great stock into the dark look of the land. Editor Joel Cox does brilliant work with the editing to his seamless approach to transitions and piece together the different narratives while going for unique rhythms towards the battle scenes in the film. Production designer Henry Bumstead, along with art directors Adrian Gorton and Jack G. Taylor Jr., does amazing work with the look of some of the buildings and such for the tour as well as the tents and camps in Iwo Jima.

Costume designer Deborah Hooper does nice work with the costumes with a lot of the mid-1940s uniforms and clothes many of the characters wear. Visual effects supervisor Michael Owens does terrific work with the visual effects such as some parts of the battle scenes along with some set dressing to create some of the buildings and such in the 1940s. Sound editor Bud Asman, along with sound designers Charles Maynes and Steve Ticknor, does superb work with the sound from the way it plays into the terror of war as well as the intimate atmosphere that goes on during the war bonds tour. Clint Eastwood’s music score is wonderful for its somber pieces to play into the drama while going for more bombast and ominous orchestral arrangements to play into the terror of war while the music soundtrack includes songs from the 1940s.

The casting by Phyllis Huffman is incredible for the ensemble that is created as it features some notable small roles from Judith Ivey as Harlon Block’s mother, Ann Dowd as Mike Strank’s mother, Beth Grant as Gagnon’s mother, Melanie Lynskey as Gagnon’s fiancee Pauline, Neal McDonough as Captain Severance, Robert Patrick as Col. Chandler Johnson who leads the battle, Ned Eisenberg as the photographer Joseph Rosenthal who would take the iconic picture, George Grizzard as the old Doc Bradley, John Slattery as the slimy and greedy war bonds publicist Bud Gerber, Chris Bauer as a war bonds commandant, and John Benjamin Hickey as the Marines publicist Sgt. Keyes who understands the grief and torment that Hayes is going through. Other noteworthy small roles include Benjamin Walker as the humorous Harlon Block, Joseph Cross as the naïve Franklin Sousley, and Paul Walker as the tough and outgoing Hank Hansen as the other three who raised the flag. Barry Pepper is terrific as Sgt. Mike Strank whom Ira idolized as he was considered to be the older brother of the platoon.

Jamie Bell is excellent as Iggy Ignatowski who was Doc Bradley’s fellow medical officer who deals with the chaos of war. Thomas McCarthy is superb as Doc’s son James who would piece the stories that his father had been avoiding to tell him as he goes on his own journey to find out about his dad. Jesse Bradford is brilliant as Rene Gagnon as this young Marine who sees the war bonds tour as a chance to get some big money as Bradford has the look and humility to play a man caught up in the world of celebrity. Adam Beach is fantastic as Ira Hayes as a Native American Marine who is ravaged and grief-stricken by war as he descends into alcoholism to cope with his newfound attention. Finally, there’s Ryan Phillippe as Doc Bradley as this Navy medic who saw the war and all of its horrors while trying to maintain a sense of composure as he deals with the war bonds tour as it’s a very astonishing performance as Phillippe brings a great restraint to his role.

Flags of Our Fathers is a remarkable film from Clint Eastwood. Armed with a great cast, a powerful story, and amazing technical work. It’s definitely a war film that plays into the idea of heroism as well as the horrors of war in its aftermath. It’s also a film that pays tribute to the men who fought in World War II in Iwo Jima as it is a fitting companion piece to Eastwood’s other Iwo Jima film in Letters from Iwo Jima. In the end, Flags of Our Fathers is a phenomenal film from Clint Eastwood.

Fast & Furious 6




Directed by Justin Lin and written by Chris Morgan, Fast & Furious 6 is the sixth film of the Fast & Furious franchise in which Dominic Toretto, Brian O’Conner, and the rest of the gang are asked by DSS agent Luke Hobbs to stop a mercenary organization that features Dominic’s lover Letty Ortiz who had been presumed dead. Set almost entirely in Europe, the film has many of the characters from the previous film come together to not only get back one of their own and regain their freedom but also stop a mercenary team who wants to cause trouble for their lives. With Vin Diesel and Paul Walker both reprising their respective roles in Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner while being joined by other franchise regulars in Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Gal Gadot, Sung Kang, Elsa Pataky, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Luke Hobbs. The film also stars Gina Carano and Luke Evans as Owen Shaw. Fast & Furious 6 is a sensationally fun film from Justin Lin.

The film sort of picks up where the last film has ended where Dominic Toretto, Brian O’Conner, Dominic’s sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), and Elena (Elsa Pataky) all live quietly in Spain just as Mia has given birth to Brian’s new son Jack. While the Torettos and many of their friends live rich and comfortable lives, they’re still wanted fugitives to the U.S. government until Luke Hobbs gives Dominic some startling news that his old flame Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) is actually alive as she is working for a mercenary racing team led by criminal mastermind Owen Shaw. Dominic decides to help Hobbs as he and Brian gather their team to help Hobbs and in return get a full pardon so they can return to the U.S. Yet, Dominic and the gang realize how much trouble Shaw and his team are with Letty also complicating matters prompting Dominic, Brian, and Hobbs to find answers.

Chris Morgan’s screenplay doesn’t just reinforce the theme of family as that is what Dominic, Brian, Mia, and Letty are along with Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges), Han (Sung Kang), and Gisele (Gal Gadot). It’s a film that is about a family trying to get back one of their own once they realize that Letty is alive as she was presumed to be dead in the fourth film. For Brian, he feels guilty for putting Letty into that situation as he would seek answers to find out how she managed to stay alive while Dominic tries to reach out to her unaware that she has no memory of the life she had with Dominic. While the two and the rest of the gang were reluctant to work with Hobbs, they realize that Shaw is far more trouble as they help Hobbs nab him. Still, there is something about Shaw and his team that intrigues Dominic as there is a bit of mutual respect between the two as they both live by a code of honor.

Unfortunately, Shaw mocks Dominic’s idea of family as he tries to make his life and the life of his entire team troubling while being one step ahead of him as it prompts Dominic and the team to anticipate what Shaw will do. While Morgan’s script does balance the aspect of suspense and action into the story, there is also humor in the film as it relates to how each member of the team bring something to the table and how they get answers. Yet, it does play into a climax where the two teams collide as it isn’t just about survival but also about doing what is right.

Justin Lin’s direction is definitely stylish and slick where it does play into a lot of the conventions of mainstream action blockbusters. Yet, Lin does know how to balance action and suspense with some comedy while making sure that there is a story to tell and with characters that people care about. While there are a lot of moments where the camera is constantly moving as well as a wide second-unit shots of various locations such as Spain, Hong Kong, London, Costa Rica, and Los Angeles. Lin does manage to keep some things simple in terms of the compositions and scenes he creates where he injects a lot of light-hearted moments as well as scenes that reinforce the idea of family. The action sequences are definitely top-notch in not just some of the racing scenes where there’s cars driving through the traffic of London and Spain.

Since a lot of the racing scenes are fast, Lin knows how to establish exactly what is going on without getting too chaotic as well as play into the stakes of what is happening as it includes some very intense fight scenes. The fight scenes add to the action as it is very choreographed with such precision as it can be set in one location or something that involves a much more elaborate setting. It all plays to this sense of action and a gang trying to fight for what is right as well as proving that family is more important than a team who only works together for money. Overall, Lin crafts a very exhilarating yet thrilling film about a gang going against another racing gang to gain their freedom and bring back one of their own.

Cinematographer Stephen F. Windon does excellent work with the film‘s stylish and colorful cinematography with its emphasis on stylish lights for the scenes at night while keeping things simple yet broad for the daytime scenes. Editors Leigh Folsom-Boyd, Greg D’Auria, Christian Wagner, Kelly Matsumoto, and Dylan Highsmith do fantastic work with the editing where it does play into fast-cutting styles for much of the film‘s action sequences while slowing things down a bit for the non-action scenes. Production designer Jan Roelfs, with set decorator Richard Roberts and supervising art director James Hambidge, does brilliant work with the base where Hobbs and the team work at as well as Shaw‘s own home base where he plans his missions.

Costume designers Roberto Craciunica and Sanja Milkovic Hays do nice work with the costumes as it‘s mostly casual and to the point to play with the film‘s look. Visual effects supervisors Eric D. Christensen, Kelvin McIlwain, and Sean Stranks do terrific work with some of the minimal visual effects which is served as set dressing in order to keep the special effects be as realistic as it can be. Sound designers Peter Brown, Harry Cohen, Stephen P. Robinson, Peter Staubli, and Jay Wilkinson is superb for the sound layering of all of the noises that goes on as well as how the engines sound in those cars to showcase how much power they have. The film’s music by Lucas Vidal is wonderful for its mixture of orchestral bombast with some electronic music as the soundtrack features some score pieces from Brian Tyler from previous films as well as a mix of hip-hop and electronic music from Ludacris, deadmau5, Peaches, the Crystal Method, 2 Chainz & Wiz Khalifa, and T.I. with Lil’ Wayne.

The casting by Lucinda Syson is amazing as it features some notable appearances from Shea Whigham as O’Conner’s old FBI Stasiak, John Ortiz as the drug lord Braga that O’Conner confronts, and Elsa Pataky in a terrific performance as Elena Neves who understand what Dominic is going through as she stays behind with Mia in Spain. In the roles of Shaw’s team, there’s Clara Paget as the blonde driver Vegh, Kim Kold as the muscle Klaus, Benjamin Davies as the driver/fighter Adolfson, and Joe Taslim as the martial artist Jah who gives Han and Roman a very hard time in a memorable fight scene. Gina Carano is wonderful as Hobbs’ partner Riley as she is a badass who helps the team while going toe-to-toe against Letty in a very memorable fight scene. Luke Evans is fantastic as the main antagonist Owen Shaw as this mercenary who believes in a code that is about precision and getting the job done as he aims to make things hard for Dominic and his team.

Tyrese Gibson and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges are superb in their respective roles as Roman and Tej with Gibson being the wise-cracking member of the gang and Bridges as the more technical-based gadgets man. Gal Gadot is excellent as Gisele as this woman who is good with weapons and cars while also using her sex appeal to get some answers. Sung Kang is brilliant as Han as the driver who knows how to get things done while being the chameleon who can blend in towards any situation. Jordana Brewster is very good as Mia Toretto who stays behind in Spain to take care of her newborn son while hoping that Brian and Dominic bring Letty home. Michelle Rodriguez is incredible as Letty Ortiz as Dominic’s former lover who has no memory of her old life as she becomes confused about what she’s doing for Shaw as well as what Dominic tries to tell her.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is marvelous as Luke Hobbs as a special agent who asks Dominic and Brian’s help to capture Shaw and his team while giving them something in return as Johnson brings some humor and some intensity as he proves to be a vital part of the film’s success. Paul Walker is great as Brian O’Conner as a former agent turned criminal who takes part in the job to find some answers as he takes some major risks for the team as Walker is the perfect straight man to his partner-in-crime in Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel is remarkable as Dominic Toretto as a man who learns that his lost live is alive as he tries to get her back while dealing with Shaw as he tries to regain his freedom and put together the family he had come to care for.

Fast & Furious 6 is a phenomenal film from Justin Lin that features top-notch performances from a great ensemble cast led by Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Not only is it an action blockbuster that has a lot of elements that gets audiences excited but it’s also a film with substance as it has a very engaging story and characters that audiences can root for. It’s also a film that allows the franchise to be taken seriously as it is a film that is a whole lot of fun but also has some brains. In the end, Fast & Furious 6 is an exciting and enthralling film from Justin Lin that kicks a lot of ass and more.
