Two rivals trade witty barbs and body blows while saving humanity from a cyber-enhanced anarchist.
Pulpy and high-octane, with big broad humor. A party watch at full speed. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Hulu and Tubi (free).
The thing to know: brutal violence, more than a PG-13 usually carries. Beyond that, no sex or nudity and some strong language.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the violence.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Ever since US Diplomatic Security Service Agent Hobbs and lawless outcast Shaw first faced off, they just have traded smack talk and body blows. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton's ruthless actions threaten the future of humanity, they join forces to defeat him.
It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
