I think it suffers because of Statham not that he\’s bad he just seems to be in a different film. Paddy Considine\’s Nash character deserves his own trilogy, I\’d like to see more of him and even Gillen isn\’t his usual terrible self. This feels more like a London Dirty Harry, without the thrills of a Harry Callahan movie. It\’s also the best adaptation of that Ken Bruen universe I\’ve seen and he has a tiny cameo as a priest in it. A solid B movie based on a story by a very pulpy writer, I\’d watch it again on a bus or a plane, but glad I got to see it on the big screen.
