100% pure Statham, and after many years where audiences had to settle for the diluted variety it's a welcome return to form.

Lo que tiene esta película, cortesía del guión de Kurt Wimmer, es una escalera desvencijada que sube desde lo cómicamente bajo en juego hasta los niveles más altos de poder.
Read - 4.0 EmpireJohn Nugent
Statham is as gruffly convincing as he usually is (though it's 20 minutes before he's even allowed to kick any ass), but the action scenes are horribly inconsistent: fine in the hand-to-hand stuff…
