Seeing Jason Statham in the poster, I immediately surmised that this movie was going to be another slam bang gunfest set in an Eastern European city! However, I was quite surprised that it was set in my favorite city of London, and well, everyone in the cast had the English accent! The movie is actually interesting since it involved a flamboyant cop killer, played by my favorite actor in Queer as Folk! He has aged here a bit though and he doesn't look sexy anymore. Oh well, he's a cop killer!! To make things more interesting, Jason's boss is queer! Although they never show him doing it with another man. Tsk tsk.....Well, the standard Jason Statham growling and chasing and car chasing scenes are there but there are interesting characters here like the homeless snitch, a young policewoman addicted to drugs and alcohol and a 15- year old punk! A slice of the criminal world of London. Even the audience I was with was into the story, gasping and shrieking at the right moments. We really do love action movies here!
