Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This film tells the story of a series of murders of police officers in London. The police manages to locate and detain the suspect, but there is no hard evidence to prosecute him. The police has to work extra hard before he strikes again."Blitz" is all about​ Jason Statham, who is a rude policeman with little regard for rules. His character is interesting as he is good at his job but appears to be a bad guy. The plot is engaging and delivers thrills. It is special as well because it is the first time Jason Statham and Luke Evans star together in a film, before they appear together in the Fast and the Furious series.

A tough cop is dispatched to take down a serial killer who has been targeting police officers. I love Jason Statham as an actor but this is easily one of his most weakest films that he has ever done next to Spy where they turned him into an absolute joke. My main issue with the film is exactly the same issue that i had with Homefront a way better movie that worked completely which is the villain of the film played by Aidan Gillen (The Dark Knight Rises) who is really miscasted as this skinny bad guy who wants to eat and watch TV shows on television. Another problem is that the movie is trying to make you care about a drug addict police woman and Luke Evans and both of them aren't really that interesting the best part of the movie is Jason Statham himself and the film starts pretty strong i want lie but the rest of the film is just not that great. If you're a Statham fan give it a shot if you're not skip it 7/10.

Detective Sergeant Tom Brant (Jason Statham) is a hard cop in southeast London willing take anything including a hockey stick to the bad guys. Cops are being targeted. Sergeant Porter Nash (Paddy Considine) is brought in to head the manhunt. He's ridiculed for being gay but finds a supporter in Brant. The killer makes reporter Dunlop (David Morrissey) his contact. Brant and Nash zero in on Barry "Blitz" Weiss (Aidan Gillen) as their suspect. Brant remembers a run-in with him a year ago.This is a hard-boiled cop drama. This wants to be a gritty harsh movie. It does come off as another modern grim British TV cop show with bigger actors. Considine fits right in. Statham seems to be itching to be the Transporter. It wouldn't hurt him to play slightly against type especially in a movie which wants to be taken more seriously. I like the grim tone but Statham may be at cross-purposes.

Now there has been a lot of Jason Statham action films over the years some good and some bad but this one fits in the middle as distinctly average. This story sees Stathams character looking for a cop killer called the blitz. Now Statham is really good in this film doing his best to combine the action and humour that he is really good at and he is easily the best part of the film which is no shock. The rest of the cast is not great though, now aiden Gillen is a good actor and he does a villain well and this film is really no different with his performance being pretty memorable. Stathams detective partner and the female cop aren't very convincing and there story plots especially the female cops is completely unnecessary and a complete waste of time. We do get a nice cameo from Luke Evans but it is not enough to make up for the overall cast. The story is pretty terrible to be honest with the main story being incredibly simplistic and the reasoning behind everything was not really explained. Also it spent way too much on the secondary story and I hated it. The script is okay with most of Stathams lines being funny and gillans being creepy but the rest was very simplistic and nothing really to it. The style is a bit of a mixed bag with the backgrounds being exactly the same as a lot of films and it does nothing new. But I do give this film credit for the fact that it was willing to show more violent action. Overall this is just an average film and unless you enjoy Statham films you can miss it.
