Anyway, all that said, this is solidly mid-tier stuff: better than the Ang Lee version from circa 2003, sure, but not up there with the likes of The Winter Soldier or Avengers Assemble.

Although the movie felt more like a 007/Die Hard mash up, there is definitely something here.
Starring Outlander actor Sam Heughan as the protagonist, the story starts of simple by introducing the antagonist portrayed by Ruby Rose (John Wick 2, OITNB) then quickly implementing further possibilities making you seek answers and guessing throughout.
Focusing on the protagonist's combat abilities to begin with then pushing forward with intensity.
As an underground train between England and France is hijacked by a familiar face , there's only one passenger ready and willing to fight back and drop e'm (inside joke haha).
The close combat and the armed combat scenes are on point, the plot was nicely played out and twists and turns were in every corner.
Not quite in the same league as die hard, lethal weapon, mission impossible etc but it's on the right track.

I struggle to put my hand on what that something is, though.
In this, a down on his luck actor - 'The Great Jordan' - is hired to impersonate Price Victor, one of the three claimants to the throne of Redhart following the mysterious death of its former incumbent, and after the chaos of The Demon War, which is really only mentioned in passing, with a few cameos from characters from said war.
None of the three claimants, however, are particularly nice characters ...
Cue a mix of magic and mayhem, with an outsiders view of the politics played in the courts of those high in the land, a few twists and turns - some of which you can see coming a mile and a half off, but others of which you (or, at least, I) didn't the first time around.
Then again, I was in my early teens that first time around ...
