Editors' Picks: Week of April 19, 20198 of 10
Insane Trailer of the Week
Leave it to the Fast & Furious franchise to remind us that cinema is about spectacle. The series has never been about subtlety (cars vs. boats, cars vs. helicopters, submarines vs. cars), but the new trailer for Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is ridiculous. Watching Idris Elba as a self-proclaimed "Black Superman" seems to indicate we're drifting into comic book territory, and we may be just one installment away from time travel, zombies, or just launching cars into space. But it's pointless to be cynical about a popcorn movie featuring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, whose broad appeal and charisma can carry most movies. Enjoy the spectacle.
