I hate the modern trope of rebooting licences with socially agreeable casting. And this doesn't honestly play like that. Aaron Pierre, i've not heard of prior, but he's done a good job of the given script. He'll do well from this i hope. Don, bless him, loves these roles. Brawl in cell block 99 was a bloody hoot. But we all want to see another Nash Bridges or age appropriate Miami Vice!!
Verdict. Watch it. If you do, they'll make more of the same. There's no budget for CGI, no superheroes, but the entire cast play out this hardcore version of saturday night 80s tv really well. Time not wasted.
The plot is a bit convoluted and you could cut out 30 minutes without losing anything important.
The biggest downside for me is the ending, it seems like they did not know how to end it and just throw in some stuff to wrap it up during the supposed climax. It lacks the impact that it needed to deliver satisfaction for the viewer. I can't explain more without spoiling it but it's underwhelming.
On a positive note the main character is likeable, if a bit one note, and the main villain does a god job of making you hate him.
The action scenes are okay, nothing amazing but watchable.
To summarise, I would not recommend this over many others that came before and did it better, but if you have 2 hours to kill and have watched the many other films with the same premise and want to watch another one, give it a go, it's on the bottom of the genre but it's passable.
The action was great, not over the top, and very realistic. A younger me would have considered the movie slow and boring, but that's because all I used to want before was ACTION!!! The older me prefers the story and character development. There was some great turns near the end that I didn't expect. All in all, I thought it was a solid film. 7/10 for me.
My only gripe, because im a film sadist, is I wanted a bit more carnage. The film attempts to emulate others (like our beloved wick films or reacher), but it fails to reach the same level of hollywood violence we've come to expect from the genre.
Many may argue this is a good thing but it didn't tickle the part of my brain that I wanted it to. Terry, our protagonist is wronged so repeatedly during the course of this film that it would have made the Pope himself command genocide on the masses, yet we're made to believe that Terry is so honorable he couldn't be bothered to hurt another soul.
My only gripe with what was otherwise a great film.
Godspeed.

- QuizJohn Boyega was originally set to star. However, he left the project midway through filming in 2021, forcing producers to halt production, find a new lead actor, and re-shoot all his scenes.
- BlooperIncorrectly reported as a goof: That the dash camera only starts recording when the roof lights are activated so could not have seen anything incriminating.
Both true in real life and discussed at some length in the dialogue, event recorders of all sorts are constantly recording, but only save the recording when you trigger it; since human intervention is often after key information, it saves some time before the activation as well as afterwards for a time limit or until deactivated. In this case, the police cars were per the dialogue set to record 3 minutes before the activation of the takedown lights, hence the clock to get to the car and the lights activated so the shooting was preserved.
- Citazioni
Terry Richmond: People getting hurt now either way. The fire last night...
Chief Sandy Burnne: [sighs] Yeah, I heard about that.
Terry Richmond: Yeah, it's gotten out of hand. Real soup sandwich.
Chief Sandy Burnne: We can agree on that.
Terry Richmond: Got me thinking about the conversation we had in the cruiser, about de-escalation? That also takes both sides, you know? So I was thinking, what if we just walk away?
Chief Sandy Burnne: Well now you're starting to talk some...
Terry Richmond: But then I was like naaah.
