Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw

I have never seen any of the Fast and Furious movies so I really have nothing to compare this movie to.  Still, it’s not hard to guess that this is your typical summer  popcorn movie fluff.  That isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  Sometimes all you want in a movie is predictable action, a few chuckles and a happy ending.  And this has action by the bucketful and plenty of humorous interplay between the stars, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Stratham. They talk smack about each other while defending the world against Idris Elba, who is a cyber enhanced anarchist who wants to release a deadly virus to weed out the sick and the weak.  They are ably assisted by Vanessa Kirby as Jason’s tough as nails sister. It is all rather silly, but fun too.  I suppose if you want to be mindlessly entertained, you should look no further, but why not give it a try?
