Great flair

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2019)

I avoided this movie for years because it was very obviously just another big star big action movie. It's better than that. It reminds me of Bourne movies, highly professional and really, really enjoyable. The filming is super, wherever this movie goes, streets, bars, stores, one gets a real sense of rich urban texture. For no other reason this is a great look at Boston. The director has a talent for lighting and sympathetic closeups, as well as a sort of earthy pathos. It's a good length, its a good pace. How the baddie got his accent is pure talent. Denzil is as cool as Man On Fire. This movie is a guaranteed antidote.
