You can see the effort to make this a heavy, serious and complex action movie but they ran out of juice to tell a decent story. There are so many holes and illogical plots that it was so hard to continue watching.
Firstly the new DCI, Raine she was absolutely clueless and how did she get to that position I cannot imagine. Then the scene at the Piccadilly Circus, that was ridiculous!!
No worry about spoiler here (trust me), the bad guy has his evil act all planned out nicely only to be undone so easily. Then, the one I cannot unseen, Idris character who fell into the frozen lake in Norway, killed the bad guy (nothing unexpected here) and stayed under the freezing water for god know how long....once rescued he was miraculously fine (he had at least 2 stab wounds) and then sent to a secret safe house somewhere in the UK, all that still wearing the same shirt, pant and jacket, with a red tie!!!!!
With all due respect to Idris Elba, this movie doesn't need him, I reckon Rio Ferdinand can do the job.
Help me to erase all these.
