Tom Hardy plays a battering ram to a door made of styrofoam. A huge letdown if you are here for a taste similar to the director’s previous ventures- The Raid duology. It’s like Evans stitched the cutscenes of a video game and released it.

And, as for Netflix, this obsession with familiar formula-based action thrillers post-Extraction, it needs to get off it pronto.
