Warning: Spoilers
This was part of a trend of TV-made documentary films from Network Entertainment celebrating popular movie stars who passed away too soon. Basically, this film looks back at the life and career of American actor Paul Walker. Friends and family that knew him best talk about his early and popular films and his roles, his relationships, his personal interests, and his shocking and tragic death in 2013 in a high-speed car accident. With clips and discussions of his films, including: Shark Week (1987) (TV series), Meet the Deedles (1998), Pleasantville (1998), Varsity Blues (1999), The Skulls (2000), Cribs (2000) (Walker appeared on an episode), The Fast and the Furious (2001), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), Into the Blue (2005), Running Scared (2006), Flags of Our Fathers (2006), Fast & Furious (2009), Fast & Furious 5 (2011), Hours (2013), and Fast & Furious 7 (his final film, he died during production). It also goes into detail about his interest in cars and driving fast, his relationships, and what caused the car crash and how he died. With contributions from Rob Cohen, Tyrese Gibson, Cheryl Walker (Paul's mother), Paul Walker III (Paul's father), Caleb Walker (Paul's brother), Ashlie Walker (Paul's sister) and Rhett Walker (Paul's uncle). It is a shame that Walker died aged only 40, but this makes you appreciate how good an actor and a nice guy he was, it is an interesting documentary. Good!
