Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

Everything was really good no problem from me

The digital codes is for USA ONLY.

Brickhouse US lawman Luke Hobbs and British ex military turned bad guy turned good guy Deckard Shaw who first appeared in the Fast and Furious movies at film 32 now have their own spin off. This one finds Shaw's sister steal a really nasty virus from Black Superman Brixton who has plans to wipe out humanity and start again with a race of super humans. Brixton himself is genetically enhanced so much so that he even manages to punch The Rock in the face! Behind all of these sinister plans is a mystery voice controlling everything, a voice that I am sure will be revealed in a sequel that will now doubt be announced in the next 10 minutes. Anyway, there is punching and kicking and shooting and some things blow up and then the film ends.Now one of my deepest and darkest secrets in life is that I actually really enjoy the Fast and the Furious movies. They have got sillier and more over the top with each movie but I still find them immensely enjoyable. I don't have an excuse, it's just the way things are so deal with it! So with this love I was obviously drawn towards this silliness also. However, this one lost me. There were some enjoyable aspects to it, the banter between Hobbs and Shaw is funny, the action sequences are so ridiculous they will also make you laugh plus there is one particular cameo that also had me laughing too. So far this sounds like a comedy but it is also supposed to be an action film and that's where it loses out, the action is just too ridiculous and silly that it ends up looking like a cartoon plus the whole sci-fi element of genetically engineered super soldiers just didn't seem like a good fit. There were also things like a timer counting down to add tension but the timer seemed to still be counting down 4 hours later and it was only a 30 minute timer and our 2 heroes took 2 and a half hours of film time to discover that if they worked together they might be able to defeat the bad guy and the biggest flaw, how is Deckard Shaw even a good guy after what he did in previous movies?! It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. There are brainless and enjoyable action movies out there but it's a thin line and this movie crossed it.
