James McAvoy (Wanted) plays a cop obsessed with capturing
the elusive criminal (Mark Strong) who wounded him during a pursuit.
The film begins with the aforementioned pursuit and then
resumes three years later. McAvoy is plodding along with his career but his
interest is rekindled when the son of his old adversary turns up dead.
This big budget British action film looks great but
unfortunately the story is muddled and incomplete. There is no background to
either main character and the eventual outcome can be easily guessed by the
casting of David Morrissey (The Walking Dead).
Writer / director Eran Creevy please take note…cool
lighting, sleek car chases and violent shoot-outs alone do not make a good
film.
Ric’s Rating: Poor.
