For anyone who likes Jason Statham, this is a must see. Nothing really new here, but what Statham does - he does well. As long as the story/plot doesn't suck horribly in the movies he does, he always delivers.
It's amazing just how many movies this guy does - and consistently provides a performance that's pleasing. Not in a Richard Burton kind of way, but in a "Jason Statham" kind of way. He's unique in a genre that's "been there and done that". That's saying a lot! Simply put - Statham is fun to watch for a couple hours. Anybody who appreciates his films are not looking for a deeper understanding of life. They want action, revenge - and a great story that includes both! Beyond all the usual elements present in a Statham movie, this movie has a couple nice twists that had a bit of color to the overall story. These twists help make it that much more enjoyable. And what's interesting is that these twists (one being the kooky millionaire kid) would really seem stupid if done with anybody but Statham. The guy just oozes COOL.
If you like Jason Statham you'll enjoy this movie. He delivers on all cylinders - and there's a nice back-story to accompany. Well worth the 100 minutes or so of film.
