Jason Statham characters being a little goofy

It’s understandable that when most people hear the phrase “Jason Statham movie,” their minds are going to turn toward blunt, hyper-masculine, and even grim/serious action movies. The man radiates stoicism and a certain no-nonsense quality from his screen presence alone, and that’s translated to him having a fruitful acting career, specializing most of all in crime, thriller, and action movies.

Naturally, it’s a good deal more light-hearted than Romeo and Juliet, with that story’s infamous deaths being either undone or adapted out entirely, all in the name of keeping things kid-friendly.

It's not the only silly Fast and Furious movie, but it might be the one that tries the hardest to be funny, and that’s naturally made it something of a divisive entry within the series. At least it can be separated from the others, for anyone who just wants to stick to the purportedly “more serious” entries in the long-running series, but anyone who particularly enjoys the side characters played by Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham might well find that Hobbs & Shaw delivers the goods.

Spy might not sound like much when it’s simply described on paper, but the execution here is a good deal better than one might expect. It’s entertaining and goofy, working more as a comedy than a genuine action/spy movie, but gets away with that because the humor’s consistent, hitting far more often than missing. It might be the most broadly comedic movie Statham’s appeared in yet, and he works shockingly well.
