An average movie

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be another generic and rather tedious Jason Statham vehicle. I mean, the guy has done worse during his career but there was still a terrible lack of ambition displayed in this movie. For example, it was interesting that Statham played for once a vulnerable man. Unfortunately, very soon, the main character cleaned up his act and became another killing machine but, by now, I have seen Statham playing this kind of characters too many times to care anymore. Then, there was another sub-plot involving some nun which was actually not bad either, in fact, there was enough material to make a whole movie focusing only this character, but it didn't mix very well with the main plot involving Statham's character. Above all, it was just so lame to have not only this former homeless guy but also this nun turn into some kind of model, and, to make things worse, this two victims of major makeovers ended up in the sack together. In fact, there were some interesting darker elements but there were lost in a typical average Statham action flick. Concerning Steven Knight, who released the same year 'Locke' and who was also responsible for the amazing 'Peaky Blinders' and 'Taboo', it was rather surprising to see this guy delivering something so half-baked. Anyway, to conclude, even if I have seen worse, the damned thing was still pretty weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.
