I like Guy Ritchie movies, especially when Jason Statham is in them, but this thing here is just going through the motions, pretending to be interesting. The pacing is all wrong, the dialogue is weak, story development is like a kid's move. Apparently Guy Richie can fail. Maybe he's now a has-been and it's time to retire as to the life of a goat farmer.

It would seem Jason needs better direction in order to bloom into the ultra-cool and interesting hero personality he can be when he gets the proper story and context. He doesn't appear to be very interested in that though. It's a shame really. With all the alternatives that exist there are no reasons to watch this movie at all.

This is actually really bad. Richard Holm is just not up to for what this film wants to be. Look at some native Norwegian movies on the same subject and I think you'll find many that are pretty good and this one to be drivel in comparison.

Acting is stiff and over the top at the same time, the drama is laughable and the story could have been made into something interesting, but isn't.

I stopped halfway as I didn't find the acting up to par, or the story convincing. Gráinne Good (Amy Reynolds) can probably act, but is either overplaying or being uninteresting here. It's something with her pacing which to me suggest the director couldn't get what was needed. It's in total just below adequate, which makes this boring, but had to watch a few to realise no improvements were to be had. There are much better ways to waste your time and way more interesting stories to experience. Compared to the very realistic Sambre for example, this series has about nothing. Some people can make a series work. Others can't.
