For the past few years, Jason Statham has been cranking out generic action movies that are the cinematic equivalent of fast food: Cheap and filling, but hardly satisfying. This British film from director Elliott Lester is a big departure from the assembly line the actor has been on. It gives Statham a chance to prove he’s more than well-choreographed beefcake by giving him a role that depends more on making his lines believable than making his fights look cool. n the movie, Statham plays a South London cop investigating a serial killer that is targeting other police officers. It may sound familiar, but the story has some nice twists along the way and Stathan, joined by Paddy Considine as an openly gay inspector and Adan Gillen as the killer, gives his best performance in years.
