Aa a fan of your writing style and of these movies, I'm also bummed! Although I can't wait to read your take on F9, when members of the family actually go into space! Space!
As a Statham fan (did you ever do a write up for Crank 2? Heard so many good things about it, never managed to see it), I was moderately interested in seeing this, till I heard through the grapevine that reps for the two stars spent months haggling over who would prove to be badder ass, to the point of counting punches the two exchanged, to make sure it came out even. That didn’t strike me as badassery so much as insecurity.
My wife loved this whilst I had a huge problem with the fact that both Hobbs and Shaw were written with the exact same personality.

Crank 2 High Voltage is my favorite movie to talk about and always say the full name while insisting (honestly) it’s masterpiece status.
