Saw an add on shooters saying that you can download from Amazon Unboxed, bit of a bizarre way to finally release this film but whatever, I've been wating for this one for some time now and for the £1 quid rental price I thought I'd risk it for a biscuit, ncie one. Starts a bit weird and confusing but soon get's into to it, well lots of attractive women, tons of fight sequences, in dozens of different disciplines, lots count after twenty. Well the acting ranges form passable to VG considering the directors script leaves the actors a bit of a challenge but, on the whole a passable effort and a very pleasant surprise for a UK MA film, along with Steve Lawson's The Silencer this is another that stands out from the crowd of medium to low budget efforts produced in the UK over the last five years or so that are mostly violent cheap and nasty efforts. Thought Silvio was great but yet again he really needs more acting roles if he's ever really going to move up to the next level. Alexander was very convincing, would have liked to have seen more of the bed scene with ET but then again who wouldn't. Tons of action and the most looney build-up for a scene fight since The Good the Bad and the Ugly, re the tennis courts which ends like most fight in real life, over in seconds.On the whole well worth the wait, more please.

For a change a passable British thriller, though overly ambitious a good stab at a British take on the 24 phenomenon. Generally good performances all round excluding the Police Commander who seemed to have his shoes nailed to the floor in every shot he was in. With a bigger budget this film could have really opened up a bit, ripe for a remake though. The Spanish twist at the end was really sweet! Jaffrey seems to have been wasted of late, excluding Corra's and a few UK indie movies he seems to have but faded away. In Day of the Sirens though I saw his best performance in years, a moving and painful to watch study of a lone pensioner being targeted by a pack of vicious kids and pushed over the edge. Oh yeah, unusually well shot for a British independent.
