No, I don't mean dumb like Fast and the Furious, I mean stupid screenplay. The movie switches from physical violence that makes no sense, to people making stupid decisions or refusing to talk to others to get more information (remember, these are cops we're talking about) to boring discussions, to car chases that make no sense. The characters behave erratically just to fall into the narrative of the film, which is quite bizarre. The ending is so contrived that I almost laughed out loud.

That doesn't mean the film doesn't have its good qualities. The actors were decent, the action was believable - less so at the end, but overall, even the production values, which tended to go towards the cheap, were OK. The only thing that really made little sense was the plot, which was not silly like American movies, it was just weirdly convoluted and having parts that had no business being there. Would it have hurt to ponder a little on what you're writing before you start filming?

Bottom line: someone tried too hard to make a cheap Jason Statham movie when they had the potential of a superior and original movie instead.
