![]() ![]() Whilst Hobbs & Shaw (or, as it’s being advertised, Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, so you don’t forget how ludicrous the film will be) is tailored more for the Fast & Furious fans who are up date on the relationship timeline between its titular titans – Johnson’s Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs and Statham’s UK Special Forces assassin Deckard Shaw – the film seems to enjoy referencing but never directly addressing the past encounters between the two that has driven them to hate each other so much, essentially creating a serviceable standalone product for anyone unversed in the Fast & Furious universe.īut harping on about story depth and character development is a pointless exercise when it comes to a film such as this, one that openly defies the laws of physics, gravity, and common sense, all in the name of good ol’ fashioned entertainment. And now, within that franchise, a spin-off (hopefully the first of many) fronted by series saviour Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. It’s hard to believe that a franchise that started out as little more than a soft remake of Point Break, pinning Vin Diesel and his disposable crew against low-rent law enforcement with the street racing scene as its background, has transformed itself into a billion dollar commodity where secret agents take on international terrorists. ![]()
