Watched this at Cheshire Oaks & not an empty seat to be seen !!

This was not as good as i was expecting/hoping.
The story was very predictable with a few decent action scenes.

5.5/10

I found this movie a way to slow and boring, that boring that I actually spend most of it jawing, the story line wasn't good at all, and all I remember from it is the bang bang bang plus the actors didn't feel that involve, so all in all VERY DISAPPOINTING for an "action" movie
4.5/10

Glad I finally got to meet Beate, and some more Fmukers :D

What a load of melodramatic rubbish. How do I claim the 95 mins back of my life that I lost?

Saw this @ Hatfield and thought pretty much everything about it was exceedingly average.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that I was bored by this flick but I wasn't exactly enthralled either, the sequence involving the Nan was probably the best scene in the movie (although it didn't have to work too hard to achieve that accolade :roll: ) and the climax was okay but nothing special.

It tried & failed to imitate numerous action based thrillers so it gets a disappointing 5/10 from me...

It was like Hot Fuzz but played straight! Dreadful. McAvoy looked like he wanted to be elsewhere.

I thought it was a good film. Far better than the last British crime/police drama I watched The Sweeney.

A bit late getting started at Greenwich (no idea why) & for once I didn't have serial talkers/phone users nearby.

6/10

wasted film ! actually the more i think about it im gonna say crappppppp film

I am so dissapointed in Mark Strong, he such a talented actor but in this he was just so wooden, there was no real acting from anyone in this movie , the storyline was good and had potential but the makers really ruined it , i dont know what ridley scott was thinking putting his name to this movie , he must be regretting it

I don't know - how about a story? Characters you care about and some brighter colours? Zac Efron? He usually livens even shit films up a litle.
I thought it was very bright for nightime :P for a Brit crime movie I thought it did very well, without the usual cockernee scumbags or gangs of youths rampaging around. for a second time director, I think he did very well. I liked his first film Shifty as well
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

At Shepherds Bush we weren't able to get in until 6.15, but started on time. Oh, and my Jamacian ladies were there, in the same row as me again. Thankfully they made fewer comments than at Mama :giggle:

I missed this but OH said it was only 60% full in Edinburgh.

Film was better than The Sweeney but overly complicated apparently..........
