This plot sounds bloody and old-fashioned, but Jason Statham's Blitz doesn't fit that description.
Although this is a real R-rated film, many killing scenes appear directly in the shots, hammers and brains fly together, and even the perpetrator himself vomited for it. However, obviously from the beginning of the script creation, this movie did not plan to be made into a Hollywood routine like "Fate Express", "Very Human Trafficker", and "Anger". Instead, Jason Statham stars as a violent cop with a personality problem who needs to see a psychiatrist, while his partner Paddy Considine is an equally violent gay.
Needless to say, the villain played by Aidan Gillen is the direct source of the crime is being beaten up in public by our protagonist, losing face, causing psychological distortions, and embarking on the road of no return from the addiction to killing the police.
However, while narrating the crime and pursuit, this film also shows a group of police and gangsters in London, England: in addition to the perverted and disgusting protagonist, there are also unscrupulous media who repeatedly distorted reports on the protagonist's behavior. After the first-hand information of the crime, they did not inform the police, but planned to obtain exclusive information; the female police officer who returned from the identity of the potential informant was confused between the identity of the ruffian and the police officer; the street gangsters who participated in the fight were actually just mistaken A timid teenager who goes astray; a sanctimonious inspector who privately wants to use his power to manipulate policewomen; in addition, institutionally, the fair judicial system established to take care of the weak is powerless against a few bloody gangsters... ...
In a word, everyone is sick! Of course, this movie can neither explain the reason for this situation, nor propose a solution. What it can do is let the protagonist, like Harry Brown, let the protagonist solve the immediate difficulties in his own way. Social problems cannot be solved independently by small individuals, but at least brave individuals can solve individual problems on a small scale.
Because of this, the whole movie is filled with a dark atmosphere of inability to solve problems. The protagonist is no longer powerful, and he can't even handle a computer, but at least the protagonist has muscles and strength, and his partner has reason, so in the end, In the 5-minute storyline, the emotions that have been suppressed for more than an hour are finally released...
In short, not much to say, it is worth watching.
