Sobre este filme

After a suspected bomb attack, CCTV footage picks up Michael Mason (Richard Madden - Game of Thrones) at the scene. Sean Briar (Idris Elba - Luther, Prometheus), the CIA agent on the case, soon realises that Michael is just a pawn in a much bigger game and is also his best asset to uncover a large-scale conspiracy. Going against commands, Briar recruits Michael to use his expert pickpocketing skills to help quickly track down the source of the corruption. As a 24hr thrill ride ensues, the unlikely duo discover they are both targets and must rely upon each other in order to take down a common enemy.

It has good moments but the story is so weak and full of holes and i mean huge holes that the plot fails to fill in that the end result is pretty darn poor. I watched once and that is enough. I am glad i just rented it and not wasted a trip to the cinema. A proper stinker

Film by template. A waste of the talented cast skills but very watchable. Could have been amazing, but feels an opportunity wasted. Worth an evenings viewing though.

Brilliant film, shame they changed its name from Bastille Day to The Take
