Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Terry Staunton

Black-ops soldier turned construction worker Jason Statham calls upon his old skill set when his boss's teenage daughter is kidnapped in this pedestrian thriller, co-written by Sylvester Stallone. While in pursuit of the bad guys he goes undercover as a drug dealer, leading him to a human trafficking ring and a conspiracy involving corrupt government agents. Co-writer and director David Ayer (who was also behind the camera for the Statham-starring The Beekeeper) delivers an overlong yarn that hops between predictable, unimaginatively choreographed action set pieces and an unnecessarily complicated plot that falls apart if the viewer looks too closely. Essentially a bog-standard vehicle for its robotic star (whose resting facial expression is that of someone who heard a joke three hours ago and is still trying to process the punchline), the screenplay is based on the first in a series of novels by comics writer Chuck Dixon, and should the makers have thoughts of a franchise, future instalments will need to be considerably less formulaic and more interesting than this.
