Story: There's a serial killer on the loose. But then this killer is different -- he plans to kill off the police force one by one. Enter detective Sergeant Tom Brant (Jason Statham)....

Movie Review: This is the perfect vehicle for Jason Statham to showcase his skills as the bad-ass sociopathic cop who knows only how to kill and lift the testosterone to levels rarely reached with his no nonsense panache for unlettered violence. But Jason isn’t a killer alone. The department loves him because he is a friend in need despite being deprived of all friendly feelings. His I love You, I am there for the team is unconditional. Consider how he tends to his Chief Inspector Roberts cope through his wife’s death and you’ll get the point why he is the most loved and hated cop in the department. Statham, the bad-ass cop is pitted against Barry Weiss (Aiden Gillen) a pessimistic loner with just one purpose in life which is to murder all men in blue. As Tom Brant, Jason once again is seen playing a no-nonsense man of few or no words literally. He, as always, is seen as this hard-nut who drinks a couple of cans and yet manages to walk out of blasts unhurt. Are we complaining? No, for Jason is Jason. The hardships of being a cop aside and the relief Paddy Considine gets to an otherwise action plot as the gay sergeant whom Brant unwillingly accepts, the question remains how much of killing and brutality can one take.

A lot if Jason is around because you know here is this mean machine that can accomplish anything with chutzpah. Go for Jason Statham’s animalistic charms.
