Directed by<\/em>\u00a0David Leitch<\/p>\n

Written by<\/em>\u00a0Chris Morgan and Drew Pearce, based on a story by Chris Morgan, and based on characters by Gary Scott Thompson<\/p>\n

Starring:<\/p>\n

Dwayne Johnson<\/strong> as Luke Hobbs<\/p>\n

Jason Statham<\/strong> as Deckard Shaw<\/p>\n

Idris Elba<\/strong> as Brixton<\/p>\n

Vanessa Kirby<\/strong> as Hattie<\/p>\n

Eiza Gonzalez<\/strong> as Madame M<\/p>\n

Rated PG-13 for prolonged sequences of action and violence, suggestive material, and some strong language<\/em><\/p>\n

Runtime: 137 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n

There seem to be no limits to the Fast and Furious <\/em>franchise anymore. In eighteen years, I have seen the plots go from street racing to saving the world. Perhaps the Mission: Impossible <\/em>franchise influenced the story shift. Even the laws of physics seem to matter less with each installment. But you know what? It still works. The franchise continues to entertain has yet to disappoint.<\/p>\n

David Leitch was the perfect candidate for the director. He co-directed the stylized thriller John Wick <\/em>(2014) and took lead on Atomic Blonde<\/em> (2017) and Deadpool 2<\/em> (2018) \u2013 neither of which I\u2019ve seen yet. My takeaway from those trailers is that the action scenes and stories are over-the-top. This film isn\u2019t any different, and it fits his style.<\/p>\n

This is the first spin-off in the franchise, titled Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw<\/em>. The title is a little silly, but so is the film at times. Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) reluctantly team up to stop a virus from spreading across the world. I would have recruited Tom Cruise for the job, but I\u2019m sure he would\u2019ve passed since he already did that in Mission: Impossible 2<\/em> (2000). Instead, the CIA recruits two guys who can\u2019t stand each other for the mission. Perhaps the government wasn\u2019t worried about Hobbs and Shaw killing each other before saving the world, therefore leaving the world back at square one. Let\u2019s face it, though, there would be no entertaining, explosive, and hilarious film otherwise.<\/p>\n

Shaw\u2019s little sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) is an MI6 agent trying to procure the virus. She almost succeeds in her mission\u2026but the mysterious Brixton (Idris Elba) arrives and tries to steal the virus for a sinister purpose (is there ever a happy use for a virus?). The only way Hattie can keep the virus safe is to inject herself with it. She escapes, and Brixton is hell-bent on capturing her. However, Hattie isn\u2019t your typical damsel in distress. I liked that about her character. She quite nearly kicked Hobb\u2019s butt in one hilarious scene! Now Hattie, mutually smitten with Hobbs, and her protective older brother, Shaw, are all on the same team.<\/p>\n

Brixton isn\u2019t just your typical bad guy waving a gun \u2013 he is a \u201csuper-soldier\u201d with a metallic spine, which makes him essentially invincible. He can dodge bullets, cars, punches, and who knows what else. His eyes light up as the computer in his brain tells him what defensive moves to make, with on-screen graphics in his line of vision. Very handy. I wanted to yell at the screen, \u201cLook at his eyes!\u201d That would have given his opponents a clue that a head-on attack may not work out in their favor.<\/p>\n

Now that the team is dealing with a villain that could easily have just stepped out of a comic book, Hobbs and Shaw must keep their egos in check (for at least five minutes at a time) and come up with a backup plan. Hobbs suggests that they go to his family in Samoa. Hobbs doesn\u2019t get a warm welcome, though, since he left the family behind years ago. Perhaps Dominic Toretto\u2019s frequent reminders of family echoed in Hobb\u2019s brain.<\/p>\n

I loved how the Samoan culture came to life in the film. I\u2019m sure Johnson came up with the idea of showing his heritage in a movie, and it was fun to see. Besides, what movie couldn\u2019t use a mother breaking up a fight among grown men by threatening to hit them with her flip-flop?<\/p>\n

I had some mixed emotions while watching the film. At times I was thinking, \u201cWhere is this franchise going to go next? Space?\u201d There were also plentiful reasons to forget about the lack of a serious plot, with the electrifying action sequences and humor. I let the \u201cit\u2019s not supposed to be taken seriously\u201d thought win. I mean, if it were a believable action film, who would think to try to stop a helicopter with a tow truck? Maybe John McClane from the Die Hard<\/em> movies, but still (and does that qualify as \u201cbelievable action?\u201d). Quite honestly, when have the Fast & Furious<\/em> movies ever presented themselves as \u201cserious\u201d cinema? They\u2019re meant to be fun \u2013 just go with it.<\/p>\n

It was great to see Johnson and Statham doing their own thing. They play off each other so well, and their insults are hilariously creative. A list should be made of their insults, like what you would see when you Google \u201cChuck Norris jokes.\u201d Definitely a step up from the ones Johnson threw at Zac Efron in Baywatch<\/em> (2017), which only pertained to boy bands, which got old fast.<\/p>\n

Hobbs & Shaw<\/em> was what I expected it to be. There are a few cameo appearances that I didn\u2019t see coming, but I won\u2019t spoil them for you. The movie is good, but not one I would watch repeatedly (my wife loved it, and is a little offended right now). I admit, though, that getting the Blu-ray would be worth it, even if only for the outtakes.<\/p>\n
