Final Score

For action fans it's a winner. Hot pacing and action. No "Arty-farty" plot. Just straight up no mixer. No goofy politics. Just good vs bad. And lots of action.

Enjouy.

Not sure why this movie is getting the hate. It does not pretend to be anything but a fun, entertaining die hard type movie.

Grab the snacks and enjoy some, British humour, fun fight scenes, silly stunts.

A decent enough film along the same lines as Die Hard. I enjoyed it but didn't realise it was a comedy until it showed West Ham in a European Cup Semi Final. That was so funny, even playing a made up Russian team they struggled but the words European, Semi Final and West Ham haven't gone together for a generation or two.

Forgetting tribal rivalries it was a film that followed the typical genre formula but nevertheless was a good watch.

A British-American action thriller; A story about an ex-soldier who has to employ all his skills to try and rescue his kidnapped niece and help foil a plan by the kidnappers for mass destruction. This is a fun, noisy, brash, muscular action flick that bears some resemblance to the film 'Die Hard.' Bautista looks comfortable in his avuncular role; the sentimental moments work nicely. He looks easily capable of taking on the terrorists so the tension doesn't run high. It has a fairly predictable storyline, over-choreographed fighting scenes, and clichéd dialogue at times, but it is a handsome production - the villains' audacious plot and their unrelenting menace make the clock run down pleasingly.

"Final Score" is exactly what you expect it to be, and a bit more. The story is tight and simple, and the pace of action is fast. The idea of taking hostage a whole stadium of football fans is both current and real. In fact, making a film about it might seem as a safety valve as it will hopefully discourage anyone wanting to implement such a plan.

The added quality of the film is Amit Shah as Faisal, a bit clumsy, but extremely nice chap. He makes a fantastic Laurel to Dave Bautista's Hardy. That is if you take the film tongue-in-cheek. Bautista is, however, well cast. He's a charming big man with enough authority to convince the audience (and Ray Stevenson's villainous character!) that you don't mess with former US Army men.

Pierce Brosnan, fully bearded for "The Son", has a cameo role. It's always nice to see a household name supporting small films like this. Enjoy.
