SashaDarko I didn't find the narration engrossing enough or particularly interesting, but it's still a solid and very stylish thriller with some punchy action scenes (which also include some slow-mo jumping parts Max Payne would appreciate). The main character is an unsympathetic and boring hothead and the story is all over the place and hard to follow at first, but they bring it on the plate at the end.
Deano Brennan I enjoyed this film from start to finish. It was a well executed, well produced & well acted film. If I were to mention anything negative, it would be that the plot was a little easy to work out, but that being said it did not at all stop me from enjoying this film. The performances by James Mcavoy and Mark Strong were, as always, spot on.🐸
Ajeesh Vijayan James McAvoy and Mark Strong plays the lead role in this Eran Creevy's Brit Action Flick. Synopsis 3 years ago,Max Lewinsky was severely injured during a combat with the notorious criminal James Sternwood and was waiting for a chance to take on James.. Now James has returned to find his son's killer who got killed in a gun fight. Max in pursuit of James and then teams up with him to find the real culprits I liked the movie coz of its fast paced narration and good action moments. The story's good but something was missing whole total in it. The lead actors were good in their roles. Bgm and camera-work was fine but not the best. You can try this if you are looking for a time pass action thriller. My rating 6.8 on 10
alindsay-al With the main two actors in this film the interest in this film may be big but I do believe that this film is completely average in almost every way. This story sees a cop on the revenge against a criminal that almost cost him his career. Now this film is co-led by James Mcavoy and Mark Strong and they are both fantastic in their roles. Mcavoy is really good as the crazy cop who really seems obsessed with the case and he gets it across well which the audience can buy. Mark Strong is great in villainous roles and this film is no different as he does his brooding villain well and his chemistry with Mcavoy is deceptively good and is a good part of the film. Their is a hired mercenary and he does a good job in the film with his intense performance fairing well among the other great main performances. But their is a lack of other interesting side characters with none of the others doing a good enough job to make themselves a good character. At first the story seems quite simplistic but towards the end it just becomes a huge convoluted mess and totally ruins the story of this film. Also we don't know enough about the main two characters so we don't care about them as much as we really should do. The script is okay when Mcavoy and Strong are talking but everybody else's dialogue sucks and it really does hurt this film. The style of this film is mixed, the scenery is dark and really cool, however, there is just way too much shaky cam and it makes watching the action scenes very difficult. Overall this is an average film that you can definitely miss out on.
