It’s handily the nastiest “mainstream” film with this considerable of a cast and budget since Wayne Kramer’s bonkers 2006 cops and mobsters thriller Running Scared.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Directed by David Leitch
influenced by Running Scared (2006)
In 2001 we were introduced to Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel, xXx), Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker, Running Scared) and a host of other colorful characters in Universal Pictures' The Fast and The Furious.
After an embarrassingly crude toast by his boss Stan Indursky (Alec Baldwin, "The Cooler"), Reuben and his new wife Lisa (Debra Messing, TV's "Will & Grace") are off to honeymoon in St. Barts, but on day one Reuben stumbles upon her doing the nasty with French nudist scuba instructor Claude (Hank Azaria, "Shattered Glass," looking very chiseled).
It's a nice gesture, and Soderbergh shoots this quiet scene, as he does most others, with high style, but in the wake of Swingers and The Cooler , these sentiments are a little late to the after-party.
This stretch of the film has the kind of unholy creepy factor found in the scenes with the murderous child pornographers in Wayne Kramer’s Running Scared (2006), but it goes nowhere and simply stops dead.
