This looks like utter bobbins...I am in!

Looks like fun!

It's in cinemas on January 12th and also on Sky Premiere soon as a Sky Original

I enjoyed it. It's a John Wick clone with a cockney accent but it is quite enjoyable.

I enjoyed it overall. The action is absurd, and the protagonist can just enter and roam around buildings that are crawling with security. Can kill 20 people, and then just disappear from a high rise building without any explanation given. But I think the film purposely does not try to camouflage these issues, and just leaves it up to the viewer to enjoy it for what it is, or moan about everything.

I recommend it for some easy entertainment. But not one I will be rewatching.

At first it just seemed like a generic, wafer-thin, seen it a million times b-movie (no pun intended) but once it gets going it's a ton of stupid fun, was laughing quite often at the sheer absurdity of it.

Kinda reminded me of something like Commando with Arnie, all the one-liners, very self-aware, and lots of comedy moments. Quite different to John Wick in that sense, though I get the comparisons.

Anyway, a really solid pizza/beer film, definitely one you should......beekeeping in mind for a Friday night. Easily the best of the (mostly not great) Statham movies in recent years.

It is not going to get an Oscar nomination, but I enjoyed it.

Usual Statham vehicle, this time he's a beekeeper but also retired from a secret organisation called "The Beekeepers" who deal out retribution to wrong doers.

This time he takes on dodgy call centre staff and their powerful owners.

As daft as it sounds, but his films are what they are, lots of deaths and fighting.
