Blitz (2011)

Genre: Thriller

Directed by: Elliot Lester

Starring: Jason Statham, Paddy Considine, Aidan Gillen

Running time: 97 minutes

This 2011 crime thriller is your typical formulaic Jason Statham vehicle. Here again, the action stars plays a bad ass guy who doesn’t play by the rules. In this one, he is a hot-headed police office in a rough area of East London. He does not like to do things by the book and he is getting some negative attention because of it. When a psycho killer starts going around the area killing cops, he has to dig deep into his bag of tricks to catch the well-organized and fast-thinking criminal.

We get lots of violence here in this fast-paced action movie/thriller: numerous fight scenes and gun shots and lots of blood flying around. This is not a thinking piece but more of a rush for the adrenaline-pumping movies fans. Entertaining for what it is.
