Yanking its two titular ensemble players out of the Furious fray and into their own reluctant-brothers-in-bickering-arms project, Hobbs & Shaw might just be the perfect summer blockbuster: it’s got high-octane action, crazy stunts, big laughs, a touch of sci-fi and two of the best – and best-kept-secret – uncredited...
