That\’s not to say it\’s brilliant or anything, but it has great elements (Considine! Considine! Considine!) and probably could have found an audience if it wasn\’t promising one thing, then delivering another.

Course it probably would never have gotten made at all without Statham. Conundrum.

I want a spin off that features just him, running around being a big gay badass.

I know what he\’s about but i\’ve rarely watched any of his films….. until recently. It\’s only now i\’m starting to understand the appeal and get what he\’s all about and frankly i saw Blitz and thought it was brilliant! Really enjoyed it.

Though i have to say it\’s more of an ensemble film this rather than a pure Statham vehicle which is probably why i liked it so much. There was a lot of humour in it which i didn\’t expect. And Aidan Gillen makes a fantastic nemesis, total psycho!

So far i\’ve seen both his Crank movies, The Expendables, The Mechanic and now this. This is probably the one i enjoyed the most. The Expendables being the least.
