4. Review
From the outset, director David Leitch sets the tone of this film apart from the rest of the franchise by
giving it a distinct spy-thriller-action vibe. Driven by the alpha vs alpha battle between Johnson and
Statham, the humorous banter keeps the momentum going when the action takes a breather. This
comes in handy since the action is absolutely outrageous in the best way possible. Each set-piece is
worthy of being a showstopper in itself. Sure, it goes to bonkers levels in the climax, and that's when
you may tune out, especially when there's an unnecessary romantic angle thrown in. But the
undeniable chemistry between Johnson and Statham drives the first couple of acts nicely.
Adding Idris Elba to the mix is a great decision because he's more than capable of holding his own as a
bad guy, even though Brixton’s motives are dubious at best. Then again, if you're watching this film for
its compelling narrative and sound logic, you've probably been living under a rock. Vanessa Kirby as
Hattie is a treat, and it helps that she can throw a punch too. Other characters played by Eiza Gonzalez
and Eddie Marsan feel excessive, and that’s saying something in a film of this nature. Still, there are
moments rooted in the underlying theme of the franchise – ‘family’, which brings some heart to the
proceedings. It sure helps to discover that irrespective of the country you’re from, moms will always be
moms. This spin-off has just enough self-aware humour, a touch of emotion, a few surprise cameos,
and gallons of set-piece fuel to stand on its own beefy legs. Bring on the next one.
