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 was also quite surprised by how dark/scary parts of this were for a child-friendly film, with it really only lightening up once the 14 year old Billy Batson gets his powers and transforms into Zachary Levis's adult superhero (but still with his child's mind).
With a subplot concerning family - one strand of which could probably have been handled better - and Levi knocking it out of the park (I'll admit, the TV series Chuck in which he starred is one of my favourites) as Shazam, this is one of the better entries in DC growing catalogue of movies.
