Danny (Jason Statham) is a retired member of Britain’s Elite Special Air Service, and is a deadly assassin. He’s gotten out of the business. But when his friend and mentor Hunter is captured and held ransom, the pull Danny back into the business to kill 3 operatives and make it look like an accident. But there is a catch. Each has to confess to something they did before they are killed. If Danny fails, Hunter is dead, but can he trust the ones that are holding Hunter to be true to their word? And what’s worse, now Danny finds himself hunting the ones he used to work for making him a target for them as well. Someone is on to his every move and trying to take him out before he can finish the mission.
This is a wild, action, adventure film, and the kind Jason Statham is best at doing. But the psych in this film is that it’s a true story, based on a real life story of the man who accomplished these feats. The locations in this film are as good as any James Bond film, as Danny travels all over the world attempting to accomplish this mission. The action sequences are very well filmed, and put you right in the midst of the action. There are plenty of twists and turns that make the story interesting as well as exciting.
All in all, this was a surprisingly good film, and one of the best adventure films I’ve seen in a long while. The fact that it’s a true story, blew my mind as I came to realize that this stuff really happened. It’s all the more an amazing story. If you want a really good action adventure, this is a great one.
