The thread has made me laugh so hard.

For some the plot was too complex, for others non existent and some think the plot was too simplistic :bwl:

The best thing about this film was probably its potential. Unfortunately, from characters to plot to locations, everything was just skimmed over. And then those empty streets? All those guys shooting but barely able to hit anything? At least this guy sitting few rows in front of me had a good ol' chuckle during the "grandma scene".

I saw this movie twice, because I wanted to give this movie a chance, but I was still left with the same sensation and the only scene that was worth seeing was the grandmas shooting

I found this fairly watchable, felt a bit weak on the story side, good action and nice to see a British action/thriller with a good cast 7/10.
