Or maybe the tires are spinning off of this franchise, because it's gotten pretty far out there. They have a trailer out for "Hobbs and Shaw" now and I just watched it. Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, once enemies after the fact that Statham killed a shit-ton of federal agents in Part 7, but that's water under the bridge, right? Now, they're the reluctant partners who have to save the world from Idris Elba, but wait! There's more!
This one apparently features bio-enhanced villains, so yeah... it's straight up sci-fi now. From street racing to this, huh? I'll probably watch it though. I got nothing better to do with my life.
Watch it if you want:

A quick review of Hobbs and Shaw!
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jason Statham prove once again that they have absolutely no range when it comes to acting. In this entry, the two must team up to stop black superman from unleashing a virus to wipe out mankind. The premise is one you've seen a hundred times already, but this time... there are no buts.
There's nothing you haven't seen before. This movie is as generic as it gets, heaviy reliant on high-octane explosions and insane stunts and beatings that take no toll on our protagonists. They can survive anything you throw at them, and they wont even get a scratch. Don't you just lovehate movies like this? I know I do(n't).
Toward the end of it, things get cringeworthy with how much luck these fuckers have in all of their insane stunts. The Rock jumps out a building and beats and disarms a guy while falling. Jason Statham's car does a kickflip, and while it's spinning, he gets a headshot on one of the bad guys. Zero blood, of course. Not sure there was any blood at all in this movie, come to think of it...
This series was never great to begin with, but we might have reached a new low.
