Not Ritchie's best work, but fun and ejoyable
4 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This time, Mr. Ritchie brought us a more conventional action comedy, of the genre of ' team of unconventional agents/thieves, endowed with unique and valuable skills, in a tough operation", in the line of F&F: comedy, action, expensive car chases, guns, fights, sunny days, luxurious settings and stuff, and nice looking people.

Obviously, with some sarcasm (the obsession of the J. Statham character for luxury and very expensive stuff is one of many examples that show us the story does not take itself seriously).

The result is an enjoyable film, fun, fast and easy to follow, for a more general public than his, for example, extraordinary "The Gentlemen".

All the actors involved are doing great and participating of the fun. However, a special mention should be made to Aubrey Plaza and Hugh Grant. They are carrying the weight of the movie and did a very nice job.

One thing that broke my suspension of disbelief was the outrageously poor and unprofessional setting of the Madrid (Spain) episode. The fictional "aeropuerto de Madrid", ridiculous uniforms, car plates, and so on took me out of the movie. Thankfully, Hugh Grant brought me back to it.

Overall: not a great movie, but one to have a good time.
