This is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen and nothing does it justice. The best thing in this movie is probably the stuntmen and women who had to work for this dumb movie. Respect to them. Other than that, acting, characters, effects, plot and even goddamn editing are at the lowest level possible. Why is Dom's kid black, he made him with a white blonde and he s white. Genetics? Why make John Cena travel with the son the entire movie to a hideout where they are safe for 5 minutes before they have to run from there? How could John Cena carry an entire planor with a hand and fuel it with 3 small vodkas? Why didn't Dom just direct the bomb ball in the river with the car instead of JUMPING OFF THE BRIDGE INTO A CRANE THAT TURNED 180 DEGREES AND HIT IT LIKE THAT? Why can Dom lift a car with one hand while he holds a gun that he can pick up after lifting it with 2 hands. Why would the son suddenly have the idea to repair the car cannons while going 70mph. How can he jump from a moving rotating car to another moving rotating car? Why is Jason Statham fighting Han? Why is Letty fighting Cypher? Who cares about Aimes betraying Dom, he was against him anyway from the start of the movie until the third act. How did the gang travel from Rome to London crossing the entirety of Europe in a container? Why did Pete Davidson check the gang for being wanted? So many stupid things... I bet John Cena will come back too somehow. No depth, no stakes, no risks, they even said in the movie that the team defies physics. Self awareness doesn't make it ok. It just makes you dumb for acknowledging it and not doing anything about it. It's just laughable, it's like a 5 year old thought about all this while playing. Not even fun-bad. I don't see what is to like about this.
I have seen a lot of horror movies in my life and i mean a lot. For years I have been waiting for something to fuck me up. I stumbled upon this movie, watched about an hour of it then it's entire tone changed. Think if The Blair Witch Project had a baby with Ju-On. And after that fucking hour, something happened to me. They dragged me in their found footage game and they pulled me in hard. At a particular scene I started sweating a lot and going dizzy. I almost fainted of fear. I had to stop and finish another day. That was my experience with it, I have no idea what happened. I hope if you are looking to get scared you will find that this movie will do if for you just as it did to me.
This is the worst Melissa McCarthy movie out of all the stale, dry, tasteless Melissa McCarthy movies out there. I cannot comprehend how she is still making them after all this snl humour in a movie. Not funny. Not one joke lands. Not. One. The story is basic. Characters are loud, obnoxious and basic. There is nothing in this movie except the message that is wedged in there between shit dialogue shit jokes and shit characters. A 3 from me.
