like to be the spoiler haha, go ahead and watch this movie to discover how good and exciting it is! And well mentioning the watching part, it might be hard for you to do it if you were in some parts of Europe like France and I don't know specifically which countries and also of course in Lebanon, because it has been pulled out from France after the last truck massacre Nice . In addition to that they didn't yet make the wide release, and it can't be normally found over the internet. Please if you have the movie file, or a link, private message me : Good luck watching this great thriller!

the first ever film with him that I watched.Of course, French are the ones who are bad here and tried to solve their problems with Muslim population in a very terrible way. And of course, it is Americans who will save the day. I wonder how would they react if anyone makes a movie about French or any other nation saving Black lives in America and doing that undercover exposing deliberate acts of terrorist by the CIA like on 9/11 . Ah, yes, I forgot ... there are no problems in America. All in all, for what it is, it is a great thriller.

etc. It's not entirely unpredictable, but it's good and worthy of a sequel. Maybe Elba can start the next film in a coma and wake up with a British accent for unexplained medical reasons. Thoroughly enjoyable, with a Layer Cake kind of feel in tone and production to it IMO. If you like smarter then average spy/action flicks this may be up your alley.

their end -- which is a very sophisticated dig at how politics are managed today. * Director writer Watkins know to keep things interesting, you are never bored.* Elba is nothing short of awesome. Other reviewers are saying he could be a major international action figure. Agree! Solid entertainment, does not take the viewer for granted, and the clever story keeps you hooked.

before impossibly evading all law enforcement to arrive immediately in another city with an entirely new wardrobe and armoury to tear that one up too then hooray for small budgets. Think of every way the last three Bond films have annoyed you with their ludicrous locations, grandiloquent set pieces, irritating in-jokes, preposterous gadgets, pompous and insultingly inconsistent self-references, contrived plots and ego-centric main character without whom it would seem a lot more people would stay alive. Well this film doesn't; it just gets on with plot and character and action keeping everything tight and exciting.Idris Elba is excellent if a little terrifying using his sheer size and presence to great effect. Richard Madden also plays well against his Rob Stark type as a weak and frightened character, not the instant hero you get in so many movies. Other characters are good too including the wonderful Thierry Godard from Spiral.Yes the budget is lower than a blockbuster Bond film and the film is the better for it. It's much more in the style of the early Bourne or Taken movies. The rooftop chase is far more realistic than any Bond film with people slipping and sliding about dangerously, knocking over chimney pots and generally looking rather scared rather than as though this is something they have trained for for months. I'm quite sure real CIA agents actually spend most of their time in unglamourous locations, in unglamourous cars and this film is the more realistic for showing it that way.If you want to see a good tight realistic so far as it goes obviously thriller go and see this film and give it the support it deserves. If you like pretty shiny things and shots of holiday destinations and don't care about why a secret agent tasked with the one job of keeping the head of the secret service alive would fail to do just that by playing Home Alone in Scotland instead of just placing one call for backup, then go see a Bond film instead.Elba would be wasted in a Bond film but he was excellent in this well made thriller that is better than a Bond film any day of the week.
