Hobbs & Shaw is without a doubt a Fast & Furious action flick, and to be honest I don't mind that at all. The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby, and Idris Elba and each actor does an incredible job. The plot is nothing novel and barely worth mentioning which means the real reason you are watching this movie is for the role the actors are playing and the comedy they bring with it. It would be a sin to not point out the fun that is generated by the insulting banner of Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson. They work off each other very well, bring in a lot of comedy while Vanessa Kirby and Idris Elba shine in their own roles of hero on the run and villainous pawn. Vanessa Kirby seems to have solidified her role as an “action girl” after also appearing in a personal favorite film Mission Impossible: Fallout and Idris Elba did a great job giving a conventional villain a cocky arrogance that is somewhat charming in its villainous role. Additionally, the film stays in touch with it’s fast & furious roots with a prevailing theme of family that portrayed for both Hobbs and Shaw. Overall I would give Hobbs & Shaw the summer action film seal of approval because I enjoyed watching it despite the fact that it didn’t do anything exceptionally well or break any new grounds. If you want to just have a few laughs and see some explosions in the theaters, this is the film for you. As an aside, Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart both make an appearance and bring a nice refreshing dose of their own personal comedy in the short time they are on screen.
