Review of Blitz (2011) by Dayna N — 29 Aug 2011
Blitz was a very entertaining film and had an old school feel to it very much like an old Charles Bronson revenge flick but with a fresh take.
Jason Statham plays 'Brant' a bad a** cop with not many if any limits when executing justice and he teams up with Paddy Considine 'Nash' who is a gay cop who has somewhat of a sordid past.The two get on well together after the gay ice is broken.They of course have to throw in a couple of cracks about Nash's sexuality such as phoofer and pillow biter.Once the ice is broken and trust established between Nash and Brant the gay thing doesn't come back up and he's treated as he should be ,a good cop,thankfully.
They are on the trail of a brutal cop killer and there are a few surprises thrown in along the way.I really liked it and thought the ensemble cast was excellent.The villain is a particularly dislikeable character and you will be glad you're on the hunt 'via this movie' with the detectives. Somewhat your typical Statham fare but much more interesting than some. two thumbs up.
