KABOOM!

If you are the unicorn who intends to but hasn't yet: GO WATCH IT NOW. Because here there be (minor) spoilers, unless you don't mind reading them.

What can I say about Fast & Furious 7 (or Furious 7, as it is known in the U.S.), which I haven't already said about Fast & Furious 6? Or any other film in the franchise, for that matter?

A movie that is light on plot, heavy on action. But what awesome action it is! Definitely Keanu Reeves' best since The Matrix.
