There's lots to criticise about this but it's a bunch of retired old men taking it to the criminal empire who murdered their army colleague.
Where it excels is reality to the conditions they live in and the set up of the criminals, a lot more real than you get in almost any movie. Usually the criminals are slick and highly organised which is not the reality of how they operate. Normally in real life there are many dumb people in these organisations and it's not too difficult to make your way to find the main man.
There's some awful acting and the quality is poor but it's funny and an enjoyable spin. I'd give it a 6.5 rating. Don't take it too seriously just sit back and take the ride.
If there was money behind it, depth in the acting pool and proper production this could have been an 8 rated movie.
Maybe I'm being too kind but I enjoyed it despite it's many faults.

I'm going to make this very short.
Sadly today younger people don't want anything that takes concentration to watch. The reason for this is they want to watch their phones while watching the show. You'll get lost if you do that with a good, intelligent show. So these people stopped watching it because it was too difficult for them to spend time on social media etc. And keep up with what was going on in the show.
That's the way the works us right now so you just have to expect that if you fund a great show you can accept it isn't going to last long. You just have to remember that.
And this was an excellent show.

Just watched this now. Seen the ratings and avoided it. A friend wanted to watch it so I watched it with her. I really enjoyed it. It's all action, Pierce Brosnan is excellent as is Milla Jovovich.
Great chase around London showing some of the nicest parts of the City and also the awful Tube.
The end goal for the villains is clear from early on. The movement of our hero is desperate but intelligent a lot of the time mixed in with some good fight scenes.
It flew by for me, it felt like it was over in an hour. I'd rate it between 6.5 and 7 but I don't have the option to put an exact number on it.
Anyway it's 9 years old but I'd recommend it to all. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
