British crime thriller. A highly professional and goal-oriented businessman in the drugs trade finds his well-organised life falling into chaos when he gets mixed up with stolen Ecstasy, Serbian war criminals and a missing heiress. Could he be forced to become something he despises - an actual gangster?

Looks a bit like a Guy Ritchie movie - and not without reason, for Matthew Vaughn produced the early Ritchie films - but the tone is (thankfully) more measured and serious. The plot is nothing very distinctive, although the subtext about Craig's character having to adopt the brutal methods of the people he encounters has some interest. Good performances from a strong cast; Michael Gambon is scary as a gang boss, but it's Daniel Craig's movie. This is apparently the performance that swung Bond for him, but the film deserves to be recognised on its own merits.

The Rambo film we didn't need
I was surprised when I suddenly saw a post advertising another Rambo film at the cinema. Seemed to pop up close to release without much promotion. It's been 11 years since the last Rambo film and that had a fitting enough ending to the franchise.
So back at the ranch we see him return to at the end of the last film, we find he has is playing uncle to a young girl and her mum who live there. After she takes a trip to Mexico she goes missing and it's up to Rambo to save the day. This definitely feels different to all the other Rambo films, more like a Taken plot with a girl needing rescuing. Overall its not a bad action film it just doesn't feel like a Rambo film. Let's just hope this is the last one.

This was obscenely dull. I would honestly struggle to find anything redeeming, or positive to write about it.

I can appreciate pieces of art being more of a thought provoking or statement piece, but I'm pretty sure being left dumbfounded and speechless (neither of those in a good way) was not the reaction this was aiming for.

I suppose visually it was pleasing to the eye, and some of the action (when it did occur) looked good too but I, unfortunately, saw this at the cinema, so I think that added to the spectacular aspect of those scenes.
I doubt I would have been half as impressed if watching it at home.

I would give it a miss, you aren't really missing out on anything, unless you like to watch Brad Pitt brooding, but doing it in space, as he goes on the galaxies most boring 'road trip'.
