It did not make my day
Blitz is a prime example of showing you how to waste an exemplary guest star. If you convince Mark Rylance (who does not make many movies) to appear in your film, then make the best use out of him.

It is another question as to how Rylance was coaxed to appear in this third rate Dirty Harry set in London rip off. I reckon it was a higher than expected tax demand!

Jason Statham plays tough cop Brant who beats up cartoon street thugs as he is in the verge of burnout. He teams up with Porter Nash (Paddy Considine) a gay cop tasked to find a serial killer hell bent on killing cops and boasting about it to a journalist (David Morrissey.)

The killer flamboyantly played by Aiden Gillen is not even kept a secret to the viewer or to Brant who encounter him early on in the film.

As a crime procedural it really fails as the police seem to do nothing to get evidence of any kind to build a case against the main suspect. This is London we are talking about which has more CCTV cameras than anywhere else on the planet.

The film has several subplots that really go nowhere such as a drug addicted policewoman, the grieving cop who lost his wife and the journalist who views the serial killer story as his big break. It really is filler to pad out the main plot.

Statham is onenote as the gruff Brant pretending to be Clint Eastwood.Read More
