This film ain't Mary Poppins and there is no doubt you don't go to see one of Jason Statham's films for culture or intellectual stimuli. You can be 100 percent certain however that it does have style and quality bought about by the post production and editing that glues it all together, and raises it a notch or two higher than the average blood fest that some films in this genre exemplify.
Some of the cinematography is spectacular and accomplished, graphic, and well finessed, and is a definite reason to watch; that is of course if that kind of violence is your thing.
This is a festival of graphic violence and slow-mo fight scenes, choreographed like ballet and some staggeringly cringe worthy suggestive violence that will make most blokes thank almighty God it isn't them on the receiving end!
It is also very funny film with a reasonable plot, and some very credible gangster acting from the supporting cast. I went to see this film pretty much knowing what I was going to get and I didn't come away disappointed.
Don't get me wrong I don't love violence in films , but when it is done this well you just have to give it a nod of appreciation, for what is Statham all the way as only Statham can do it......
