The seventh installment of the “Fast and Furious” franchise,” “Furious 7” is sure to draw fans curious about how the film handles the real-life death of co-star Paul Walker. But minus the off-screen tragedy, is “Furious 7” worth racing to the theater? Here’s what the critics are saying. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone says “‘Furious 7’ is the best F&F by far, two hours of pure pow fueled by dedication and passionate heart.” A.O. Scott of the New York Times says, “The final moments, when Mr. Walker’s longtime colleagues say their farewells while he still appears to be on screen with them, are both awkward and moving.” And Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair says “Furious 7 is respectful, even solemn, when it needs to be, but is still, thank God, plenty of crazy fun.”
