Sandy Kenyon reviews 'Furious 7,' Paul Walker's last movie

NEW YORK (WABC) -- It's "a movie that's more than a movie" according to one of the stars of the final film in the "Fast and Furious" franchise, one that bids a fond farewell to the late Paul Walker.

The actor died in car crash while on a break from filming the movie, and now, it is being viewed as a sort of homage.

The seventh in a series of movies that began with "The Fast and the Furious" is the last performance by the late actor, and fans will have to decide for themselves if "Furious 7" is a worthy tribute.

"You get to say goodbye to someone very, very special," star Jordana Brewster said.

His death adds extra poignancy to a funeral scene in the film, and "Furious 7" is officially dedicated to his memory. The film had to be completed with digital tricks using the actor's two brothers as doubles, but you really can't tell.

"I think the fans are going to feel good that there's a respect there," star Michelle Rodriguez said.

Respect, yes, but the ride is way too wild for any reverence.

So if you find yourself asking yourself could this actually happen, then you're missing the point.

It's sort of about revenge, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's character laid-up in the hospital, disappearing for most of the movie to leave Vin Diesel and his diverse crew -- Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Walker -- working for "Mr. Nowhere" and chasing a common enemy all the way to Abu Dhabi.

Cue the "other" co-star, a Lykan HyperSport worth $3.5 million.

Many crimes are committed, but no laws are broken more frequently than the laws of physics, or so says James Cobb, who was the automotive editor at the New York Times for more than two decades.

"The action is so non-stop, you have no time to reflect on the absurdity of what you've just seen," he said. "Before the picture moves on to even great absurdities."
