Hobbs and Shaw | Average Guy Movie Review

When a deadly virus goes missing in London, the CIA recruit Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) to retrieve it. But they're not the only ones looking for it, a mysterious organisation has big plans for the virus and have dispatched Brixton Law (Idris Elba) - a cybernetically enhanced superhuman - to find the person who has it and steal it from them.

The changes these two bring out in each other make for an enjoyable watch. The movies' selling point, as with all buddy comedies is the relationship between the two leads. Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston are nothing short of great together. If I didn't know
