Ratings and reviews

Genuinely gutted I wasted 95 minutes of my life watching this film, which is hollower than an Easter egg. Don't even consider watching it to find out if it is as bad as people make out - it is.

Stone faced acting. Undeveloped characters who we don't know or care about. Simple, unrealistic plot and scenes. Why can't we make good cop movies anymore?

Saw this at the cinema, really well made Brit action film. None of that wavy camera style that's utterly pointless. Great locations, exciting action scenes. Can't understand the negative reviews.
