New Fast & Furious Movie Hits Theaters This Weekend

“Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” (PG-13)
The Rock is Hobbs and Jason Statham returns as Shaw. If you haven’t seen any of the “Fast and the Furious” movies, these guys HATE each other and they’re only working together now because the government is basically forcing them to do it.
Vanessa Kirby from “The Crown” plays Shaw’s sister, a rogue MI-6 agent who steals a virus away from the bad guy, which could wipe out half the population.
Now she’s being hunted by an army of mercenaries led by Idris Elba, a genetically-enhanced soldier who calls himself Black Superman. And Hobbs and Shaw are the only thing standing in his way.
As for the cameos, Helen Mirren shows up as Shaw’s mom, Eiza Gonzalez from the “From Dusk till Dawn” TV series plays a friend Hobbs turns to for help, and WWE wrestler Roman Reigns appears toward the end of the movie as the Rock’s brother.
This is the first stand-alone movie for any of the “Fast and the Furious” characters. There’ve been eight movies so far. It’s directed by “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch.
