    Really great start, but then they lost track and were not so thourough in the filmmaking through the rest of the movie.

    Stylish police thriller, let down by a predictable and very flawed script. 7 years 2 months ago

    I LOVED this movie! I really liked pretty much every aspect of it. The action was good, the story was interesting and gripping, the visual style was somehow different and really appealing. I also think that this is not just an action movie but a very character-driven film.

    But the real reason for me to like this movie were the performances of the actors. The story is about a cop (James McAvoy) who gets wounded in the pursuit of a villain (Mark Strong) and later gets another chance of capturing this villain. But they soon discover a common enemy and are forced to team up...

    The conflict and the uneasy alliance between the two main characters was so well-played and a pleasure to watch. McAvoy performed wonderfully and portrayed this cop very well, who feels so disabled by his wound and so humiliated by his failure to capture the responsible man. Mark Strong was a really great villain, calm but vulnerable and wrathful at the same time. I also liked Andrea Riseborough a lot.

    Another great thing about this movie was that the story was not painted all in black and white. The "good guy", the cop, was so insecure and his ways were so dubious, while the villains often had good reasons for doing what they did.

    All in all, a wonderful example for a great British action movie with an emphasis on character portrayal.
