Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker), the heroes of Furious 7, gaze upon an exotic, expensive demon of a car whose owner has stashed it in a Abu Dhabi skyscraper. Dom's eyes glimmer with sadness. "There's nothing sadder than locking a beast in a cage," he says. It's one of just a few quiet scenes in the film. (It's almost immediately followed by explosions and the car flying from skyscraper to skyscraper.)
But it's an important one, because it crystallizes the Fast & Furious franchise's credo: these movies don't believe in cages of modesty. They're beasts, every second filled with kinetic, hulking action. Furious 7 is the ultimate realization of this. Set in the aftermath of 2013's Fast & Furious 6, Furious 7 introduces Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), the franchise's most lethal villain yet.
The meaner older sibling of the sixth installment's villain, Deckard has his sights set on the people responsible for putting his baby brother in the hospital. Dom and his friends have to find him to save their own lives. Furious 7 is all flash, a mindless exercise in grandeur and spectacle. The writing is flabby and disposable in parts. Many scenes consist of quick cuts between tense facial expressions, pedals being stomped, and levers being flicked. And the acting is silly at several points. But it's perhaps the most fun I've had, and possibly will have, at the movies in 2015. The film's greatest achievement is recognizing the cultural niche the franchise has created for itself — a sweet spot that exists between camp and destruction porn.
Director James Wan and his cast know that people don't come to Fast & Furious movies for nuance. Audiences want to be bludgeoned with action sequences, silly lines, and strangely stereotypical but highly stylized representations of other countries. Furious 7 delivers. Start with the film's globetrotting ways. The Middle East features camels and women strutting around to bumping, vaguely Arabic trap music. Tokyo is all neon glow and women strutting around to bumping, vaguely Asian trap music. There's not much the world can agree on in Furious 7, except for trap music. Every line is crafted as a nod to the ridiculousness of the franchise. In an early scene, Dom explains how he grew a racing festival from scratch.
Naturally, the racing event is called "Race Wars" and features a cameo from rapper Iggy Azalea. Race wars, Iggy Azalea, and Vin Diesel — this is all in the film's first 20 minutes. Every actor's personality is hyper-amplified. Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is 500 pounds of muscle in a 200-pound body, constantly flexing. Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) is always emotionally torn, her face permanently sharpened into a pensive pout. Deckard is an unstoppable, stoic villain whose punches break bones. Roman (Tyrese Gibson) and Tej (Ludacris) are only around to make jokes. Each actor knows his or her role, and executes it clinically. And the chemistry the cast members have suggests they really enjoy one another's company. It genuinely seems like everyone is having fun hanging out — something you don't often see in other movies.
The strangest thing about Furious 7 is how the movie deals with Paul Walker's real-life, tragic death. It's difficult to go into the movie and not think about where the franchise will go without one of its beloved stars. Seeing Walker play Brian, the role that made him famous, one last time is jarring on its own. But it also seems as if the film's actors, screenwriter (Chris Morgan), and director crafted this film specifically as a goodbye to their friend. After Walker's death, it was reported that the script underwent massive rewrites.
It's unclear how much of the story was changed. That said, every scene, every bit of dialogue, every exchange underlines one theme: this movie is about the importance of family. Shaw kills for his brother. Dom would do the same. Brian is starting his own family and has to choose between being a father and risking his life. And the core group has to figure out whom to trust and whom to let into its inner circle. I found myself lingering on the small glances Walker and Diesel share, or the way Ludacris, Gibson, and Walker laugh together.
There's real beauty there — something that can't be faked. It all makes you wonder how the franchise will continue without the actor. No formal announcement of a Fast & Furious 8 movie has been made, though Diesel recently hinted there might be another film coming. That would make sense — this is one of the most successful franchises in history, and Furious 7 looks like it'll be another huge hit. But without Walker, the next film would be missing a big chunk of its soul. The chemistry between Walker and his costars, his friends, gives this muscled sledgehammer of a film some surprisingly gentle moments that you'll think about hours later. And there's a strange sorrow that unfolds while you're watching, knowing this was the last time these friends were all together. By the end, you're hoping for just a few more minutes with this family, even if they aren't zipping around, being dropped from planes, or driving cars from skyscraper to skyscraper.

Was acting what you wanted to do from childhood? 
Yes, I have always wanted to go into acting ever since when I was a child growing up. I grew up watching television drama and soaps and someone how I knew that one day I would try it and if it works out for me, then I would continue with it.
But at one point too, I wanted to be a model or go into politics, like take up a political appointment. But acting came into the picture and am here today

When did it occur to you that you could stay on to acting?
That was after the movie I did for Pressing Forward productions in Owerri titled ‘A Night with the Governor’. It was then that I realized that I could actually take it more seriously. I was also propelled after seeing people uncle Pete Edochie, Queen Nwokoye on set. I played one of the girls who was to be trained to see the governor. At first it was all fun, because the set was easy and they were all nice to me. But I think it was actually when I started getting major roles, that I realized that I have gotten into this and because I am in it, I needed to prove myself.

And after ‘A Night with the Governor,’ what next?
After that, I got other roles. I played another good role in Chinwe Isaacs’s movie called ‘School War’ and then after that another subhead in Chioma Okoye ‘Keep My Secret’ and ‘Dirty Mind’. I have been able to take part in quite a few movies and a lot of them are at various stages of production. I have just rounded up work on one you should look out for titled ‘Lagos Men’. It is a new series that is a must watch, starring Joseph Benjamin, Paul Sambo, Solomon Akinyesi, Bukky Wright and many others.

Are you fulfilled as an actor?
I am happy doing this at least I am doing something I love doing. No matter how difficult it gets, you never can tell what God has in store for you. I mean, even if I am given a political appointment today, I won't stop acting. Even if I marry the President today, I wont quit. Even if it becomes impossible to find time, I will produce movies. As for my future husband asking me to quit, I believe I will always respect whatever decisions he makes. But if my husband understands that it is what I love doing, I am sure he will be cool with it. I am sure he will understand and let me follow my heart.

I hear it is difficult to cope as a single lady in movie world?
Well, as a single lady, I can't really say I face challenges, other than me trying to be the best I can be even though I reckon that some people will always take my being nice to be something else...I mean we all face that don't we? I mean that is common. But what I try to do is to be focused and simply face what I have come to the industry to do.

What are your likes and dislikes? 
I like people who are real. That is, people who are not pretentious. I like people that are also outgoing and those who cut their coats according to their clothes and not their sizes. As for my dream man, I would love a man that is God fearing, hardworking and a man who is a good listener and a man that will always encourage me. As for favourite food, I think I like white soup (Ofe Nsala) and wheat. I love white and navy blue for colours and for music, it all depend on my mood. As for what I wear, it also depends on my mood and the occasion. But I don't dress to impress. Rather I dress to please myself.

What is your career ambition?
My career ambition is to be the best in my chosen career. I want to be at the head, always. No matter what I am or where I am going, by the grace of God, I am a born leader by ambition. So I want to get to the point where I can be described as a leader in this profession.
You asked the other time whether I have any regrets and the answer is no. I have no regrets and you know why? I try to make every mistake I have made, a lesson to me, and that is helping to make me a better lady by the day. So I am happy doing this and will continue to do this.
