A little Chinese
girl holds an important secret, many wants her but she is under the protection
of one unstoppable man.
And so
Jason Statham continues is endless streak of good action movies. It’s becoming
so long that I have trouble remembering to last bad one that he did, maybe “War”
5 years ago?
This is not
a masterpiece in any shape or form but, as an action movie, is competent and
engaging. Jason Statham plays the patented Jason Statham character, they are
all the same and we really don’t care because they all look very good while
kicking ass.
There is
plot, quite a lot of it for a movie of this kind. They move from place to
place, they scheme, stuff is revealed about the villain’s plot and our hero’s
past and everything is tied up nicely in the end.
This doesn’t
sound like a lot but for an action movie this is like pure Shakespeare.
Of course
if you expect some character development and or some deep emotional
relationship you will be surely deluded. But, honestly speaking, if you were
expecting those why are you watching a Jason Statham film?
The action,
the ultimate selling point of a movie like this, is good, inventive and plentiful.
There are a lot of witty one liners and the camera, directed by Boaz Yakin an
old hand in the action genre, lingers enough on what’s going on making it all
very easy to follow.
Conclusion:
Action fans will love it.
