Director:

Elliott Lester

Writers:

Nathan Parker (screenplay), Ken Bruen (novel)

Stars:

Jason Statham, Paddy Considine, Aidan Gillen |

This isn't your typical Jason Statham movie.  Usually he plays a tough, smart character that is able to outwit his opponents.  In this movie he plays a cop who is mentally eroding on the job, but refuses to quit because he has nothing else to fill his life with.  When a violent killer starts targeting policemen, he finds himself at odds with his boss and the entire force.

It's not a memorable movie and I wouldn't recommend it for most.  If you are a big Statham fan or a crime drama fan, you could do worse.
