Great action with a story. Sort of.

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2010)

This film started off slowly with some dry humor and fancy cutting effects which made it look fast and to the point.
Nicholas Angel is a top cop with the London met police. In fact, he's so good, that the met has to find him a new job so it doesn't appear as if he's running the force (guidelines apparently require everyone to use "police service" instead) alone. That they do, and suddenly Angel finds himself in a small village full of "accidents" and not a single "crime".
The story evolves in a mind-boggling way. Without revealing too much detail, the village is obviously not what Angel expected, and his calm, pacifist ways are pushed to the limit. It's safe to say that Angel is not the same guy he was before he came to the village.
This film just proves that it's possible to make something truly enjoyable out of a simple gallery of characters, none of which are particularly deep, most of them are just stereotypes.
Still, I enjoyed this film and I'd definitely recommend it.
