There is a bomb in London: briefly; there is an unexploded bomb in London; so Major Will Tranter
[Aaron Taylor-Johnson:] a highly skilled sniper that also basically worked in
bomb disposal for the Army; he and his team are sent in to defuse this bomb, he
is suffering from or elements of PTSD as well ... meanwhile there is something
else going on somewhere else.
Generally speaking: to be brutally honest; I couldn't stand this film; the
storyline/script and character developments; storyline/script is well in conjunction
with the framework and pacing of this 100 minutes film is... quite quickly
incredibly tiresome as we spend so much time around the bomb... I mean don't
get me wrong there are things happening, but just incredibly slowly or yet
again this time in conjunction with the background music which is pretty much
constant; it tries to build things up, but still we aren't actually moving
quickly enough to match whatever the background music is trying to convey and
then moving on to the later stages of this film; it feels like we are just
scratching the surface of this character developments as we have no exposition
on how all of this came together to this point, but don't worry without giving
too much away we do get some exposition on some of these characters just 10
years earlier and then right at the end of the film we get what happened to
these characters afterwards in some cases... but as you can probably tell I
just couldn't care or I really don't care or this film is a complete waste of
time really... it is really quite boring... and I don't know if you've noticed
but it has found a way to really infuriate me.
Action; what
can I say?... Substandard action for this kind of film, I would have said
standard, but other than this big explosion and some sniper shots; the action
is actually cheap and tacky.
Character
developments and performances; as I have already referenced but in this point
here, because they don't do any great exposition of predominantly any kind
minus other than what I have already referenced; why should I bother getting to
know these characters... when the writer can't be bothered to give me or anyone
more than a breadcrumb here and now much later on in the film... so his
character developments suck and consequently for an example the performers may
as well be Taylor-Johnson as a soldier; nothing more nothing less; in a
nutshell these performances are very hollow; like Rock Em Sock Em Robots; they
will do the job, take a pounding and keep on going.
This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; now it is very rare or just to cover my back
it has been many, many moons since I have been this direct; I would avoid this
film like the plague.
