10 Awesome Movies That Totally Didn’t Give A Damn

1. Hobbs & Shaw

Make no bones about it, Hobbs & Shaw knows exactly what it is. From the very first marketing stage, the Fast & Furious spin-off self-consciously announced itself as no more than a muscle-bound excuse to get The Rock and Jason Statham together, have them flirt a bit and spend two hours or so proving who has the biggest genitals. And not just symbolically, since they talk about it more than once.

The rest of the film's specifics never mattered, but Universal showed their commitment to the banter by adding in Idris Elba's "black Superman" cyborg, a shadowy villain boss in the form of a Charlie's Angels style intercom voice, something about a virus and LOTS of silly stunts. It's just an absolute joy and even more enjoyable for how little the film-makers care about catering to anyone other than the demographic of people who would get moist at the very idea of The Rock and The Stath sword-fighting with their actual cocks. On top of a train possibly. While on fire.

And then just when you think it's over after the Russian sequence, suddenly everyone goes to Samoa for an entirely different film and Roman Reigns shows up to do some wrestling moves and say absolutely not a single word. Just as it should be in all of his jobs.
