Smart, sharp, shocking, and at times bloody (and bloodily) hilarious, Blitz's witty script and pacy action elevates its simple premise into a brilliantly gritty tale of moral ambiguity.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 29, 2011

As conventional as you can get without needing an epilogue that says "...next week on Blitz."

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 6, 2011

America, where Statham does the majority of his work these days, seems to appreciate his particular talents. On this evidence, he might want to stick to Hollywood.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 16, 2011

...Lester is no Don Siegel and Statham, though credibly formidable, lacks the conscience that made Harry Callahan human...

| Jun 28, 2011

Ultimately Blitz knows exactly where its strength lies.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 23, 2011

It is an unedifying film, slickly directed and photographed, but lacking conviction and much inferior to the police procedurals you can see any night on television.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 20, 2011

All three men give searing performances and young cinematographer Robert Hardy dwells with palpable relief on their expressive features.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2011

Not for the sensitive, this is an efficient, well performed thriller that makes a few unconvincing stabs at social commentary.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2011

It's gritty, down and dirty, and Statham has never been better.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 20, 2011

The denouement strains credibility, relying on a character showing restraint when they've merrily pulled the trigger for the rest of the film.

| May 20, 2011

Who knows, we might be looking at the evolution of the guilty-pleasure movie - padded out with top-drawer talent to spare audience blushes.

| May 19, 2011

While the film recognises pressure and camaraderie, the plot is stretched like an under-sized string vest over a bulging six pack.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 19, 2011

It's all been seen before and will be seen again, and again.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 19, 2011

This British crime thriller is so unapologetic about recycling cliches that it's actually hilariously good fun to watch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 19, 2011

Statham gives a good account of himself as the no-nonsense Detective Brant, handy with his fists and ready with a wry one-liner, but an unoriginal plot and a general lack of excitement don't do justice to either him or the high-calibre supporting cast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 19, 2011

It's definitely not far from Clich Central. But if you're looking for Credibility Street, you'll soon get lost.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 19, 2011

How can we sleep for grief that we don't have more films - even bad ones - starring Rylance?

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 18, 2011

It's Statham meets The Bill, meets Life on Mars, meets Death Wish, all cranked up with in-your-face attitude that makes no apologies ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 18, 2011
