Wow! This was unexpectedly good :)

I didn't expect much as I only added this to my watchlist due to the MINIs (since I drive one and like them - especially the two that appeared in this movie: the classic MINI and the R53 from BMW with the nice supercharger whine <3).

Anyway, so I basically knew nothing about this movie but that there are MINIs in it and got a few nice surprises. I don't recall ever seeing Mark Wahlberg and Jason Statham that young - that was quite nice and funny. And I didn't even recognize Edward Norton (I did at least watch the first Hulk movie but perhaps I haven't seen that many other movies with him?).

John dying at the beginning was so heartbreaking! It really made me angry after that nice conversation with Charlie, this being his final mission, and his desire to reconnect with his daughter (sucks that he didn't got to do that). I was then looking forward for their revenge on Steve for the rest of the movie.

The classic MINI was portrayed in such a great way and I love that Stella is driving it and can drive that well (IMO there are way too few movies with female drivers).
The plot was interesting and offered a few nice "surprises" (they basically already indicated most of those surprises just before they happened but I didn't mind that at all).

I also liked the ending. Steve kinda got what he deserved (I don't wish torture on anyone so prison would've been nicer but just robbin him wouldn't have really been enough... - they're quite lucky that Steve messed with the wrong guys) and Charlie and Stella make a nice couple (plus Charlie can tell Stella more about her father and because John was also kinda a father for Charlie).


There were also quite a few funny scenes like when Left Ear and Charlie said "I love you" to each other when they planted the bombs :D
