Simple story but a great watch

This is leaked and I got to see the screener. But I loved it so much, I will def get a blu-ray copy for myself just so I can support it.

Sure there were a few cliches here and there. But Tom Jane and Fishburne were great to watch. Fishburne playing a bad guy was strange to watch, but it worked well. And the ------spoilers------- Fishburne's last line to the girl was perfect. The girl's character was amazing, and the actress did a great Job.

For it's flaws or it's great moments. This movie was great for me, and a more than a one time watch. 8/10.

I really didn't enjoy at all. The CGI muzzle flash, how Fishburne didn't have a clue how to even use a weapon properly, the ending was a let down. The girl risked her life after all that trouble. "Just do it", after a man took 2 bullets to try and save her.

State champ in martial arts, trained with firearms, I eFF'n dare you!

Totally agree with everything you said. I too loved the character of Bird and Ella Ballentine was wonderful in the role. She and Jane were so great together.
