I enjoyed this, but it's not amazing. One of those films that fills the time. Good enough story. Well acted and produced but it's not amazing. It's kind of by the numbers as even I could predict a lot of it and I'm not great at that - I never know who the murderer is on Death in Paradise. However, this film has Cage and Fishburne and is all the better for them. They keep things ticking along nicely. Drug running across Americas with expected murders and police alongside the bosses and general corruption. I liked that they updated the price of the drugs as they moved through the supply chain. Good with a beer or on a quiet afternoon. You'll need some snacks too.

Grab a cold beer. Sit back and enjoy. Statham is as ever. Hugh Grant is fun. Aubrey Plaza adds some style. It ticks along quite predictably but on a Saturday after a long week I don't want challenging cinema, I want explosions and the occasional laugh. It's a bit light on laughs compared to Spy - Statham can do comedy when it's there, and in this film it isn't written in much. But I enjoyed it and if you want an easy watch then this is it. Few nice cars, a few big explosions and lots of people being needlessly shot and engaging in outrageous fights. Only shame was they could have done more with Max Beesly.
