Was weary when starting to watch this, can't stand all action supermen or hero films. Yes there's the usual brilliant choreographed fights when martial arts enable you to beat 3 opponents ( yawn ). But then the story starts and is actually plausible, hardmen or ex - service are drawn to this type of employment. Then the leading duo take us on a ride that has some laughs, some violence, and a little insight to them. Not great, but watchable film if you've something better to do forget it, if not just waste the time well.
Far to be bad, in large lines is exactly what you expect. Fights, cases, Scott Adkins. But it has two great virtues saving it from the status of other cheep martial art/ action film. The first is the good humor. The second / the chemistry between the lead characters and a real surprising Louis Mandylor. So, a decent film.
Scott Adkins gets drawn into the world of debt collecting, and depends on his fighting skills and Louis Mandylors lessons to learn the rules. The world is however full of betrayal, and lines that Adkins won't cross.
What makes this better than average is that Adkins seems to have found the kind of role in which he is comfortable, and doesn't hide is British accent. The movie doesn't have very many fight scenes, but the fights you do get, are more realistic and grounded, instead of tricking and flipping.
But the best part is that the acting is surprisingly decent, and there is even some chemistry between the two lead actors, which makes watching their scenes and listening to their dialogue entertaining.
All in all this is a decent action movie.

The whole Movie is fill with action from Start To End, The Problem Is the Ending Of the Movie. The Climax is boring that's why most people dont like it,other than story is good, Acting is Good, Action is great,Thriller is bit low.
I'm surprise this wasn't billed as a comedy/action because it's pretty hilarious (but it gets more and more serious towards the end). Great chemistry between Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor (who delivers a wonderfully nuanced performance as always, particularly his monologue when he describes why he drinks). The pristine 1971 Coupe de Ville adds an interesting character.
