Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) is assigned to track them down.

Reviews & comments
Easily one of the best action films of this decade.
This film is everything is should be. It knows what it is and it knows what it can do and it pushes both of these things to the full extent.

pressTough on nuance, tough on the causes of nuance, this episode has the highest velocity and lowest IQ yet. See it on the biggest, loudest, dumbest screen you can find.
