Universal Pictures shouldn't put the word Fast & Furious in the title of the film titled Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Because in terms of the story of this film has absolutely no connection with the Fast & Furious film series.
It just so happened that two characters, Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), had appeared in the Fast & Furious film series. Of the eight films, Hobbs appeared four times and Shaw appeared three times.
The two hour and 15 minute films tell the story of Hobbs and Shaw who are forced to work together to complete the mission. They are asked to save Shaw's sister, Hattie (Vanessa Kirby), and secure the deadly virus.
The mission is not easy to carry out because Brixton (Idris Elba) wants to take the virus for evil purposes. Brixton is hard to beat because he is a half-human robot that is strong, even he calls himself as Black Superman.
From the beginning to the end of the film there is no part of the story that really relates to the Fast & Furious film series. There is a very little explanation about the character of Hobbs and Shaw. It is known, they had been in different camps in the Fast & Furious film series so it was difficult to work together.
Like when they were first met and explained that they would work together on one mission, the two taunted each other. Each feels the greatest of them and boasts of things that have been done.
The ability of Johnson and Statham in action movies is already in no doubt. Almost every scene they performed well. It was natural because both of them did have a basis for martial arts.
Even so, many scenes that make too much sense. Like when going down the building using a rope with bare hands, Hobbs's hands are not blister or bloody at all. Yes, this is indeed a film, but the scene feels too forced.
From beginning to end in this movie too many comedy elements are inserted, both in the action scenes or between dialogues. The insertion of such comedy elements is indeed done by many films and is liked by the audience.
But in the end, this movie only feels like an ordinary action movie starring Johnson and Statham, without any connection to Fast & Furious. Mentioning as a loose movie Fast & Furious and writing the words Fast & Furious in the title just to attract the audience.
In addition, there are some lies in the film directed by this film. Like Shaw and Hattie's parents, Magdalene Shaw (Helen Miren), who goes to jail. There is no detailed description of this.
