Leitch’s observe report behind the digicam is, admittedly, a bit of wobbly (some schmucks would even have the gall to name his “Hobbs & Shaw” spinoff the worst “Quick & Livid” film, should you can consider it), which is why it comes as a reduction to listen to so many individuals singing the praises of his newest movie.

Not that Gosling’s attempting to take any credit score for it. “Anytime [my character] received hit by a automotive, set on hearth, did something cool or parkour-y, that was [Holladay],” he assured the SXSW crowd.
