Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

SnoopyStyle War hero Robert Miller (Toby Kebbell) returns from Afghanistan haunted and finds his London neighborhood overrun by drug-dealer Tyrone Jones. His friend Fahad fears that his little brother Ryan is falling under Jones' control. Jones tries to recruit Miller to teach his thugs combat tactics and harasses him. Miller's war buddy Danny Turner introduces him to his older half-brother Chris. They introduce him to mysterious government agent Gerry Langdon (Brian Cox) who is tracking possible Islamic terrorists. Alayna Wallace is a confidential informer who has stopped contact for some reason. Miller is able to reconnect with her as a terrorist plot is revealed.This is a small British action thriller. I really like its grim look and sparse vision. There's more than enough plot for a movie but they insist on adding an unnecessary twist. The terrorist conspiracy twist has been done over and over again. It adds nothing but logic problems. I like the drug crime story and the final shootout is terrific. Having Brian Cox around adds gravitas. This is interesting but a little simplifying would be useful.

Dan N This film shows the aftermath of a Veteran returning home to England after serving in the middle east. The streets, the gang activity were a nuisance to this honorable young man. He was a man of "special talents" learned through combat. The local gangs, thugs brought about him unleashing his abilities on them. Tony Kebbell's very thorough movements when in a tactical situation were astounding. Having a professional background in Tactical Operations myself, I truly appreciated how he carried out his moves and handling of an AR / M-4 type weapon. Here was a man that wanted peace and tried to help others, only to be pulled back into using these methods learned. Sad but sometimes a reality. Excellent movie overall.

Ornlu Wolfjarl This is quite a good film, the plot wasn't anything out of the ordinary, neither was the acting, however it still manages to entertain with its gritty environments and intrigues within the plot line.The story follows a recently retired young soldier who is unemployed and lives the slams of a British city. His friend introduces enlists him to an antiespionage agency that is investigating several terrorist cells planning to carry out attacks against the UK. The protagonist also tries to keep a neighbour and friend of his safe from a drug gang in their neighbourhood, that has enlisted his friend's child brother in their ranks.The film touches several issues, such as the current "war on terror", drug problems, increasing criminal activity, children introduced to gangs, veterans facing problems adjusting to civilian life. It doesn't oversell itself and neither does it come short. It is both entertaining and thought-provoking.If you sit to watch it bear in mind 2 things: a) the film doesn't focus on the action as much as the plot line and character development. Don't expect a Jason Bourne film. b) (read after the SPOILER sign)***SPOILER*** The only problem I had with the film was its ending, and the main reason I wouldn't recommend this to everyone. The ending is quite anticlimactic and leaves several plot lines unresolved. While I wasn't expecting a good "Star Wars"-kind ending where all the good guys live, all the bad guys die and the world is a happy place, I'd still like to know what happened with all the other people involved in the story. Personally, I was left with a "so, that's it?" thought, which ruined the rest of the film for me. A similar film, "The International" (2009), has a similar kind of ending, but in that movie, the ending was enjoyable because it didn't leave unresolved issues and the viewer wandering if the copy of the film he just watched had a few scenes missing.

thebogofeternalstench A soldier returns from serving in Afghanistan to a $hithole tower block estate, looking for a job, doesn't find one, but gets recruited by the 'intelligence service'....why? Because hes an ex para?Really stupid plot. Very unrealistic. The main actor has one expression throughout the entire film, no charisma what so ever. This is the guy that played the retard brother in Dead Mans Shoes.The gang is pathetic. There's a shoot-out at the end with no sign of police ever showing up.The whole film has the same mundane, going nowhere pace to it.The main character likes to punch his wall and spit at the mirror....I was really bored throughout. I didn't care about any of the characters or what was happening because the director doesn't make us feel anything.The ending was pitiful.Give this one a wide birth.
