FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS AND SHAW (Released to Theaters USA 2019)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

 Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw—no human element built into this movie’s basic fabric—has raw portrayal of scenes that show little life reality (like sliding down the side of a skyscraper on a tight rope with bare hands). Even the helicopter scene pushes possibility too far when Dwayne Johnson stands between two opposing forces that would tear even a superhero into two pieces. That being said, the acting is good and will suit action movie fans.

Storyline

This action film is about a supervirus named “Snowflake” and the efforts to contain it after it leaves a laboratory injected into a human.

Additional Thanks 

Thank you to Director David Leitch for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Chris Morgan, Hiram Garcia for making the film possible. Cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Edris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Cliff Curtis, and Helen Mirren 

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. It is a good watch for action fans and shows a few scenes of new driving stunts that often mark the Fast and Furious franchise. Know that this film does not relate to the 9 other movies from the Fast & Furious series. It stands alone as its own entertainment. It  has all the elements that mark a good movie but lacks the better writing to pull out its potential.
