7/10
A breathtaking entertainment
8 August 2019
First of all, as strange or incredible as it may seem, the film is provided with a script. Yes, really! It might even be summarized as follows: a cyber-terrorist mutant seeks to get his hands on a virus capable of eradicating the whole humanity. But ... (there's obviously a 'but') ... Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw are here. Phew, that was close!

This movie is an efficient and funny blockbuster. It's probably >the< blockbuster of this summer, with breathtaking scenes of action and an almost-permanent humor that can be summarily divided into two categories: 1) phallic jokes and other cocks comparisons, between Hobbs and Shaw, perfect for the 11-year-old teen who sleeps in each of us and 2) « I really want to be part of your amazing team ... please », with Kevin Hart and Ryan Reynolds, with Deadpool-kind dialogues.

For sure, the director David Leitch is not a padawan. With Atomic Blonde (2017), Deadpool 2 (2018) and now with this new blockbuster, he becomes a serious cinematographic entertainer. My favorite scene? If I have to pick one, it would be the thunderous ballet « MacLaren versus Triumph », in central London, with two trucks trying to decide between them. Breathtaking!

As a synthesis: enjoy the show! 7/8 of 10.
