Review Time: this film is mixed.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, words on screen, background music, mental imagery, slow-motion effects, time jumps and place jumps.

The movement as it relates to this project is a combining problem [this means I can see that the movement of this project doesn't help the situation but it also doesn't help that there are combining aspects to this problem as well,] which I will be discussing throughout this project in one way or another, I am just trying to limit the risk of me repeating myself.

Storyline/Back story: the storyline is okay but it is a combining problem, the viewers get told the back story via voice-over or dialogue.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used, combat, exercise and chasing.

Character developments/Performances: now the character developments are a cliché of what these character types are, so yes there is friction and chemistry [depending where you are; is depending what you get.]

But having said all of this these character developments can be a combining problem as well. Now I would like to discuss the combining problems in-depth; I am just going to come out and say it; because the character developments are developing too quickly, compared to the movement and the storyline, it's like you want this film to hurry up, because you have already got ahead mentally in the film and your just waiting for the film to catch up, so without giving too much away if something happens that is unforeseen; it has no impact whatsoever at this point [it is more like a comedy element more than anything else.]

Moving on to the performances they are doing their job, [minus one character/performer,] Elba he puts in a good performance, he quickly and convincingly switches from personality traits to personality traits with ease.

This film receives: 5/10, well let's leave this review on a positive if there are any Elba fans out there, give this film a go but I wouldn't expect too much.
