While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This movie would have gotten a 10+ from me if it was not for the ending, that sickened me. I loved this movie, it was great, the acting was awesome, the end enraged me so bad i don't think ill be able to sleep tonight.This guy was the English's Charles Bronson! For God's sake why kill him off? Don't the English believe in sequels?This Robert character was no pretty boy type, his strength and skill as a fighter was believable. The sense of honor he had was what young children now a days need to see. Just like John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn or a Matt Dillon or a Rambo. You English finally had a believable tough guy. unlike your weak doctor Who or 007's and your great writers killed him off. I would have paid 50 bucks at the box office to see part two, with a bullet to his forehead i wouldn't pay one thin dime. Who ever wrote the ending should be flogged. All your other tough guy actors are like ours in the USA steroid and abdominal plated infested, fake tough guys.

This film shows the aftermath of a Veteran returning home to England after serving in the middle east. The streets, the gang activity were a nuisance to this honorable young man. He was a man of "special talents" learned through combat. The local gangs, thugs brought about him unleashing his abilities on them. Tony Kebbell's very thorough movements when in a tactical situation were astounding. Having a professional background in Tactical Operations myself, I truly appreciated how he carried out his moves and handling of an AR / M-4 type weapon. Here was a man that wanted peace and tried to help others, only to be pulled back into using these methods learned. Sad but sometimes a reality. Excellent movie overall.

For the Swedish audience, read this page first:http://perkvist.mpbloggar.se/category/opium/It is written already 2002 after the attack on Afghanistan. This movie confirms that my thesis is correct. Unfortunately no one has come to help me translate it.The film has two main spots where the truth is clearly outspoken, and it tells us the why and the how about why terrorism exists and what forces are behind them. Do not forget that the name AlQuaida is arabic for "The List" meaning the payroll that the British foreign intelligence MI6 had to pay off various assets in the Mujahedin movement during the war against the Soviets. A politician that revealed those facts, died mysteriously, it was the foreign minister at the time, Robin Cook. Heart attacks is the most common murder method of MI6. The Imperial secret agency of Great Britain. Britain is behind it all, and USA is their puppet, delivering soldiers and weapons. Soldiers that trade education opportunities against risking their lives. Diskusting it is. But true. See the film, and get the rest of the facts. It is worth it, you're to be educated.

"There are over 2,000 terrorists operating in the U.K. alone and that number is increasing daily." Miller's (Kebbell) army enlistment is over and he is not sure of what he wants to do. When he meets a group headed by Gerry (Cox) he finds his niche. Along with his new found friends he begins to hunt down and eliminate terrorists and a local gang of drug dealers. Having seen many of the recent war movies in the last few years I went in expecting to see long and boring (like 90% of the others). I was very surprised by this one. While not an amazing movie by any stretch this is a very good movie that is comparable in many ways to "Munich". A small group hunts down and tries to eliminate the bad guys one by one. Saying that pretty much sums up what the movie is about and while the acting is not great it is still very much worth watching and better then 90% of the movies that have been like this recently. Overall, a surprisingly good movie that deserves to be watched. I give it a B.
