16 January 2021
A two-fisted cop sergeant : Jason Statham is assigned by his new chief : Paddy Considine to carry out a dangerous mission : to track down a serial killer who has been targeting police officers in London by murdering them in cold blood. The murderer is nicknamed The Blitz and he arranges to slip throughout the grasp of sergeant every time and while the valuable lives of his partners are diminishing step by step . It's a deadly and lethal confrontation , a cop-killer versus killer-cop.

Intriguing and decent thriller movie with noisy action, grisly killings , suspense , chills , pursuits , and lots of violence. Jason Statham is nice in his usual style as the cop who is dispatched to take down a series murderer. Here Statham is top-notch as detective sergeant Tom Brandt , he plays following his ordinary manners as a tough and two-fisted guy , interpretations that have given him a considerable success, thanks to films as " Revolver" , "Crank" I and its sequel, "Transporter" saga, "The Expendables", "Killer Elite", "Safe" , "Homefront", "Wild Card", "The Mechanic" I and II, "Fast and Furious" 7 and 8, "Megalodon", among others . Big Star Jason Statham is well accompanied by a good support cast, such as : Paddy Considine as his chief and allied, David Morrissey as a sneeker journalist, Aiden Gillen as the really nasty series killer who steals the show, Zawe Ashton as a friend cop with dark addiction , Luke Evans as another fine police, the veteran Mark Rylance as an unfortunate police chief, Ned Dennehy, among others.

It contains an atmospheric and colorful cinematography , completely shot in London , as well as thrilling musical score . The motion picture was competent and professionally directed by Elliot Lester, delivering action and tension enough . This filmmaker is a fine craftsman who has directed some acceptable movies, such as : "Aftermath" , "Nightingale" , "Sleepwalker", "Love is the drug" , among others. Rating : 6.5/10. The picture will appeal to Jason Statham fans . Essential and fundamental seeing for thriller enthusiasts .
