As a fan of the original Fast and the Furious, I went into this final chapter hoping the gimmicks and over-the-top action scenes of the middle chapters would not over shadow the incredible memory of Paul Walker and I was not let down. I left the theater feeling like the entertainment level was met and then some but most importantly the family values that are personified in Brian O'Conner are honestly presented and come off genuine. I would have never expected Hollywood to support family values to the extent Universal did in this film. This film didn't end with a feeling of it's own self importance. I feel like this is one of the few films where the last chapter meets the fans expectations and then exceeds them. It is a must see.

The Words
(2012)
Surprisingly Amazing Emotional Story
10 September 2012
The Words draws you in with its beautiful cinematography and engaged dialog. I was especially impressed with the layers of the presentation. Most films these days will spoon feed you a flat story and leave no room for personal interpretation. The Words layers a complex open-ended plot that demands viewer involvement. I was surprised with the simple surface story presented as each deeper layer was uncovered. Sometimes it came as a subtle hint when other times it hits you straight in the face. The film has the flavor of Memento or Inception; which is refreshing these days. Bradley Cooper surpassed my expectations. I never once saw his type-cast Hangover/Limitless ticks or mannerisms. He was completely in touch with the character and never fell back on default techniques.
