The music video consisted of compiled archive footage from the duration of the film series in special memory of Walker. It features pop singer Charlie Puth, who wrote the song alongside Khalifa. Wiz Khalifa released a music video for 'See You Again' as the final tribute to late Paul Walker, who had portrayed lead protagonist Brian O'Conner in the film series. and Young Thug was the final promotional single for the film, and had a music video accompanied its release.
Both singles were released on February 17, 2015. 'Ride Out' also had a music video alongside its release, and the second single was 'Go Hard or Go Home', performed by Wiz Khalifa and Iggy Azalea. The first was 'Ride Out', performed by Kid Ink, Tyga, Wale, YG and Rich Homie Quan. The film had three initial promotional singles released from the soundtrack. It was released on March 17, 2015, by Atlantic Records. See where this film ranks in Jason’s Fraley Film Guide.Furious 7: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to Furious 7. The above rating is based on a 4-star scale. But morbid “what-ifs” aside, it’s as fine a tribute as this franchise can offer. If you’re a fan, expect a lump in your throat by the end credits. This one succeeds solely on its real-life “ride or die” heartstrings. It’s far from a 4-star action sequel like “The Dark Knight” (2008), which shined regardless of Heath Ledger’s death. Without Walker’s death, “Furious 7” would be a forgettable 2 1/2-star flick. Thankfully, Act III proves to be a redemptive savior for “Furious 7,” offering a pitch-perfect final 10 minutes filled with symbolic driving imagery, a nostalgic montage and touching music by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth ( “See You Again”) that gives Walker a beautiful send-off. Maybe that’s why the title is just “Furious”? Because it certainly isn’t fast. This drawn-out middle section may have you checking your watch - a cardinal sin for a fast-paced action movie. It’s Act Two that starts to get bogged down, with an overstuffed middle section that has too many action sequences. Act One is effective, as we contrast the heroes’ new domestic lives and their former thrill-seeking lives (including a hilarious bit of slow disclosure involving Walker’s minivan). Which brings us to the film’s most glaring flaw: its pacing. There’s a reason “Fast Five” (2011) remains the best in the series: it featured a bigger piece of The Rock. While his Rock Bottom slam draws WWE cheers in the opening battle of baldheaded badasses, we miss him too much during the rest of the movie. While the movie features too much Statham, it features too little of The Rock. It is Ramsey who holds the God’s Eye, not Deckard Shaw, so it would be logically impossible for Shaw to know their every move. He shows up everywhere, knowing exactly where the Furious crew is going to appear, like a Nintendo gamer who’s memorized where his “Goldeneye” opponents will show up in the multiplayer map. This habit undercuts the film’s premise of the “God’s Eye,” a super surveillance system that can locate anyone at any time. Statham’s villain is way too omnipresent. Such spectacle helps distract us from the more fundamental flaws in the script. Expect the ridiculous.Ĭombined with hilarious banter between Tyrese and Ludacris - which has become a rite of passage for the franchise - “Furious 7” is a ton of fun in IMAX for all its flashy, engine-revving glory. At another point, the crew parachutes their cars out of an airplane, pulling the ripcords to land on top-secret terrain. Before anyone gets on a high horse about the “unrealistic” nature of these scenes, let’s remember Indiana Jones once used a white-water raft to parachute out of an airplane in “The Temple of Doom.” Action is an over-the-top genre.
