Blitz (2011) 8/10

Starring : Jason Statham, Paddy Considine, Aidan Gillen, Zawe Ashton, David Morrissey
Director : Elliott Lester
Running Time : 98 mins

Dodgy copper Tom Brant (Statham) is partnered with his new boss Porter Nash (Considine) to take down a serial killer that calls himself The Blitz (Gillen), who is targeting coppers as his victims of choice. Hindering them in their enquiries is reporter Harold Dunlop (Morrissey), who is in telephone contact with the killer in question.

Surprisingly this was a pretty enjoyable crime thriller, though some of the violence was a bit over the top. Statham may be a walking stereotype in this film, but thankfully the remaining cast manage to pull off some great performances, especially Gillen who is exceptionally maniacal as the villain of the piece.
