Review- Fast & Furious Presents:Hobbs & Shaw (2019)


Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), a loyal agent of America's Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Jason Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015's Furious 7 and they both became famous for their smack talk and how much they both tried to take each other down. But when a cyber-genetically enhanced villain named Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of a bio-threat that could alter humanity forever, Hobbs and Shaw have no other choice but to form an unlikely alliance to save Shaw’s sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) and take Brixton down.
Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s chemistry has been undeniable ever since they jumped on the Fast scene and making this film was a great idea but it seemed more like a standalone film than a spin-off. The plot wasn’t exactly spectacular but I wasn’t expecting anything mind blowing so I wasn’t surprised. As expected, there were a lot of over the top action scenes that left me and most of the audience laughing out loud at how ridiculous they were. What took the crown was the leaps that were taken from sky scrapers and the helicopter scene which was super ludicrous. These characters must be made of stone because they smashed into a lot of glass and stood up to continue fighting like nothing happened. I loved the chemistry between Johnson, Statham and Kirby who is in a completely different element compared to The Crown. I couldn’t get enough of the cameos which included Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart. The cinematography was good especially the scenes of Samoa and the fight scenes were quite entertaining and very well choreographed. Hobbs and Shaw lacked depth but it was way entertaining  I thought it would be.

"Who Killed Julia Montague?"- Bodyguard Finale

BBC's Bodyguard has been one of the most satisfying series I've seen so far, this year. Over six episodes, they delivered a Limited Series that kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was next for Richard Madden's David Budd. David meets up with Julia's PA, Chanel, who was fired in the first episode because he was suspicious of her involvement in the bombings and he was right. She had a hand in it. Chanel set David up and he ended up getting ambushed and kidnapped by the leader of the criminal group, Luke Aitkens. The police are finally  able to piece the puzzle and they findd out that the ex-soldier who tried to shoot Julia was David's friend and this raises an alarm. They're convinced that Budd was indeed behind the bombing. Budd wakes up alone and realizes that he is strapped to a bomb vest with his thumb taped to the activating button. He is unaware that he is currently being investigated by the police and uses someone's phone to call for...

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...
