Blitz (2011)

The Plot
Tom Brant is a ruthless cop who is totally mean and aggressive. He gets into trouble often, for his methods.
Suddenly, a series of cops get killed and Brant is assigned to work with Porter Nash, a senior cop to crack this case.

The serial killer is a psychotic youngster named Barry Weiss. He calls himself  'The Blitz'. He bumps off all the cops who had booked him on various cases before.

Brant and Nash track him down and bring him to his knees and dump him off in style.

Hits
  • Jason Statham is born to do such roles. Supreme punch dialogs, hyper agility in the chase sequences and that aggressive swagger are all super macho. 
  • Aidan Gillen as the psycho is another reason why the film works. Nice eccentric performance with a lot of theatrics. 
  • Very fast screenplay. Never a dull moment.
  • The support characters Porter Nash, Falls, Stokes etc. also play a part in making proceedings interesting. 
VERDICT
Yet another Jason Statham action fiesta.
