Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw a.k.a. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)Directed by David LeitchThis "Fast & Furious" spinoff movie has Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) teaming up to stop supervillain Brixton (Idris Elba), who is after a virus. I watched the movie last night (in 3D – why on Earth does this movie need to be in 3D?) and enjoyed it greatly!By all means, this is a film that shouldn't work. The story is thin, the movie seems very cartoonish (a cybernetically enhanced villain?) and silly from the trailers (which it actually is) and the action seems totally over the top.But it does work – for three primary reasons in my opinion. The villain, no matter how unbelievable, is played by a good actor. The two leads are so charismatic that you enjoy watching their banter and bickering, and you don't really mind the thin story. Most importantly, the action scenes, no matter how absurd, are treated seriously and filmed in a way that it's clear to follow, and the physical fight scenes are done really well (this attribute, I would guess is due to the director). So, despite the over-the-top nature of it all, the audience is sold.This oldschool buddy-cop movie updated for 2019 is very entertaining! I thought the first two thirds was absolutely kickass, I had a grin on my face throughout. It kind of dragged a bit and overstayed its welcome in the third act, but that can be excused. It definitely was much better than I expected, and I had a grand time. Highly recommended! Fans of David Leitch's "Deadpool 2" would find a couple of nice surprises here as well.I drew Hobbs & Shaw from the movie, this drawing was done with 0.5mm 2B pencil on A6 Brustro sketchbook and scanned. I usually convert the entire drawing to B&W when scanned, but this time, left the yellowish tint of the paper intact for the skin tones. I think this gives an interesting look!The drawing's dimensions are one inch square – for @tiny.sharma10 and @meghalika's challenge #AnInchAugust #AnInchAugust2019.#dailymoviesketch #karthikabhiram#fastandfurious #hobbsandshaw#mikeoxmaul#pencil #miniatureart#461 / 4-Aug-19
