5 SEC REVIEW | Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

It's the Pop version of the Fast & Furious franchise. The spin-off follows the same F&F formula of fast-paced action and family drama but misses out on some details like injecting urgency in scenes specially with regards to the viral infection - I was hoping for a little bit of that Tom Cruise ticking time bomb M:I excitement. 

Also, this movie feels a little bit of what's happening right now in the world except that the virus is not called snowflake but SARS-CoV 2 and that the real-life Hobbs & Shaw probably failed because we already have a Pandemic.

"You know what this virus is? This virus is a necessary shock to the system!" said badguy Brixton in the movie played by Idris Elba. 

Sadly, Idris Elba BTW is SARS-CoV 2 positive πŸ™

Here's another quote from the movie that I like, a conversation between Brixton and Hattie Shaw played by Vanessa Kirby:

Brixton πŸ‘‰ You don’t get it, do you? You know, the weak deal with money. We deal with evolutionary change. Change that sometimes require acts of violence.

Hattie Shaw πŸ‘‰ Like killing innocent people with viruses?

Brixton πŸ‘‰ Only the weak ones. We’re dealing with the future of the planet. Things that money cannot buy.

Hattie Shaw πŸ‘‰ Oh, like your soul back.

3.5/5
