	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"A rough-cut crime thriller that sees Jason Statham back on familiar turf and doing what he does best. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"How can a film which gets so much wrong be so thoroughly enjoyable? (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Leslie Felperin Variety	"A classier crime thriller than its key elements might suggest"	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Beyond a few lively chase sequences, the rather subdued Statham seems to crawl his way through much of the plot"	NEG
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"In short, hokum, slackly directed by Elliot Lester, but there’s quite a bit of talent in front of the camera (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"It's not half bad, adapted from a Ken Bruen novel and slickly directed by Elliott Lester."	POS
United Kingdom	Trevor Johnston Radio Times	"To his credit, Lester comes up with a fresh vision of London (...) but should have worked harder to make his film live up to its evident franchise potential (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
