Nothing extraordinary in this typical cat and mouse film. Novice writer/director Matthew Hope did a decent job directing the cameras but not so much in directing his cast, as most actors were missing their 'skip in their step', especially Milo Gibson. The pacing was a bit drab, and the writing had many plot issues. The fight scenes choreography was surprisingly decent and the military tactics on point. Milo Gibson's acting was too stale, as the majority of his lines were too monotonic and he seem asleep throughout most of his dialogue. His fight scenes however, were on point. For me, the only three stand-out lead actors were William Fichtner (too bad only a mall role - haven't seen him do much lately), Joseph Millson, and Gbenga Akinnagbe killed it (well, compared to the rest). And enjoyable film to see if you're craving action and nothing else to watch on a Sunday afternoon, but nothing memorable. It's a 6/10 from me.

A fairly run of the mill and enjoyable 'action movie' but with so many careless and slapdash plot holes and goofs that you will run against them even when you AREN'T watching closely.
It is a worthwhile watch but with a little better direction and care it could have been a really good movie, albeit that the basic premise was never going to be beyond 'far fetched'.
Not the worst of its genre I have seen but very far from the best.

I like the movies with realism in their action scenes. It makes you to get in to the film more. I have to give credits for John Street and his amazing team. From holding the gun to the preparing for battle, you definitely feel that actors got trainings. Director got an excellent job to allow the actors to use the militaristic atmosphere. The simplicity of scenario and gives the message to the audience what the movie is about. When it is about mercenaries, it is every men is for himself. Even Milo Gibson shows his characters dark side with the ideology.
I enjoyed the movie overall. Gun battles reminded me Den of Thieves realism. And the general concept of the movie reminded me Ronin. I would recommend to every action movie lover.

A mercenary, Jack Collins, is hired by the CIA to track down a former CIA agent who has gone rogue. However, he and his team are compromised. Things are not as they seem and nobody can be trusted. Collins appears to be a pawn in a larger game.
A one-dimensional action movie. Basic plot that tries to be twisty and complex but is actually pretty weak. The plot really just serves to take the film to the next shoot out.
In keeping with the low standard of writing, direction is unimaginative and performances are at best mediocre.
Definitely not worth your time.

This isn't really a terrible film, just kind of bad. Milo Gibson will have to go a long way before he can actually be called an actor, and he doesn't look a thing like his dad except for the color of his eyes. He certainly doesn't have his dad's ability.
The plot lacks almost everything it takes to make a complete and coherent story. Action junkies will like it without being enthusiastic about it and I doubt that very many viewers will want to see it a second time.

This is a solid movie and a great action movie. The plot is mostly predictable and probably something you've seen before. What makes the action great is the realism. The gun fighting is up there and believable. Sure our hero survives a few times he shouldn't but that's what makes it an action movie. My biggest complaint is probably that the payoff didn't really exist. "Mission Accomplished" came to mind at the end. What was it all for?

Movie is just as bad as the trailer represents it to be.
I can't believe this flick only managed a 5! A really well put together little piece, nice action, nice pace, well acted, well written and nicely directed. Like what's the problem man? Gibson was great and offered awesome intensity, those eyes in that review mirror, man oh man! Reminded me of his Dad way back there as Max. I really enjoyed it and it was a nice break from all the tawdry bs CGI crap that's so become the norm these days. Check this one out. 7.5 from me.
No storyline, no acting, no dialogues, plot predictable - in short, not worth any time and money.
This film is vastly underrated for starters. The storyline is compelling and the characters are pretty close to what CIA black ops would hire. Emotionally damaged what some might say psychotic or sociopaths but it is never the case. They are all broken. How can you be sure you ask? Because everyone is vetted before joining the military. They are tested as a team and will die for their brothers. Everyone else for the few that have shut down are nothing. On the surface, but underneath it eats away at their souls. They are discarded when no longer useful.
The film is intense and it shows how they all feel invincible but in the end they are just as fragile as anyone. Well worth watching.
Gun fighting looks like real though the story is not new and somewhat predictable but overall , it's enjoyable to watch.

I am giving it a 5, it's not a bad but also not a good movie, it is somewhere in between. Milo Gibson who played the main role I didn't know that Mel Gibson had a son who is acting too. The shooting scenes are not too bad I have to admit and the story is ok. If you love revenge movies you will probably like it, but I wouldn't watch it if I wouldn't be in this kind of stuff then you will maybe be disappointed.

First off I'd like to say Bryce Harper absolutely blew me away with his performance in All the Devils men. Co- Starring the actor who played Chris on the HBO smash hit , The Wire, All the Devils Men is a slow moving cheap movie that begs the question, who wanted to make this and who was the intended audience? 80% of the movie is filmed in cars, the actor that plays Chris OTW (I'm not looking it up for this garbage), is a black hole of dialogue delivery lacking cadence and believability. While I was 200% this was Bryce Harper (that's how this all started) as the main, Mel Gibson's son makes even less sense. He doesn't look physically imposing, doesn't have quick biting dialog, and honestly looks like a guy that wandered on the set and just started playing the lead. Not even good for background. Again, WHO MAKES THESE AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE!?! Bryce Harper was great tho.

Good story, good cast, decent budget, original ideas and more realistic than average effects and combat scenes. Unfortunately it somehow missed. The characters were hard difficult to care about or relate to. The story was hard to follow and didn't "flow" making the movie a series of violent scenes that didn't really seem to have much relation to each other. Maybe one more draft of the script, a touch more effort from the actors and a little more direction would have helped! I'd watch it again, only if I didn't have other choices. Maybe I'll just wait another 10 years for the remake. It would be nice to see what another director and cast could do with it.

It's as good as Netflix's Triple Frontier ($60M budget). I'd guess this cost $15M. Good dark and surprisingly realistic action-assassin-spy flick, vs typical Hollywood crap. Learned a few things I can use the next time I'm being hunted by killers, too.

Such garbage where one man can take on the world of professional hitmen by himself. I think the lead actor could have taken them all out with some nail clippers but they've probably saved that for the sequel!
Not a lot of dialogue but a solid action.movie .Twists on every side not what I expected.Well done Netflix best from the son of Mel so far .

Not worth watching unless Sarah Jessica Parker is the only other choice. In that case either put bleach in your eyes. Never seen anyone as talentless as Sarah Jessica Parker and David Duchovny in the history of Cinema... having said that....
I bet there is no director for this movie. It feels like you are watching a badly said joke. Of course it's an action movie and supposed to be very serious!!! Who, really who says 1, 2, 3, and synchronize getting off a car (while nothing is happening)?!!! 😂😂😂 It's not the only time you see and hear them say 1,2, 3 which makes absolutely no sense at all. And bunch of really stupid conversations... Please do yourself a favor and watch something else unless Sarah Jessica Parker or David Duchovny are your only other options.... and if they are. Just turn off the screen and go to bed :)
Badly made, badly done.

Wow, I picked up this Blu-ray at Walmart not really expecting much. The premise was enough to make me buy it though and man am I glad I did! The lead actor Milo Gibson (yes the son of the
Lethal Weapon himself Mel Gibson) is the lead here, and he shines in the role for the most part. He seemed to do most of the stunts himself and it was filmed very well! I particularly liked the overhead shot that was used during the boat sequence. The other actors do a fine job as well. Sylvia Hoeks is downright beautiful and does an excellent job, especially towards the end. William Fichtner may be on the cover with a gun but his role is much smaller then you would think.. His role is still very pivotal though and I'm glad he's still doing great work here and there as a character actor. Gbenga Akinnabe is a great sidekick as well and his chemistry with Milo works very well. I don't know if it's possible but a prequel with both of them during Their SEAL days would be worth watching if done right. Now, onto the bread and butter and the reason we watch these kinds of flicks.. The action of course!! Matthew Hope does a great job here and you can tell he's fan of action sequences himself. I wouldn't be surprised to hear he grew up watching a lot of Seagal and Van Damme flicks as the gun and knife fights here are filmed very tight, with brutality and blood sprays. Definitely looking forward to see what Matthew and Milo cook up next!

A movie that actually has no story.. just random gun fire..
you can go to kitchen, grab something to eat.. and literally will not miss anything.
almost no suspense.. well maybe a little at the end (plane).
This feels like really good first effort at a low budget action film ( though it's the director writers second) but where was an effective exec? Scenes go on too long, there's far too much talking, and the battle scenes at the end are shot from so many angles you can't see who's on which side. In one sequence a villain protects himself against high velocity gunfire by standing behind a fragile wooden framework.
Finally, I know it was shot in west London but did almost all the car sequences have to be shot going up and down the A40 near Paddington?
But, great night exterior lighting!
