October 30, 2012A brutal and hard-boiled thriller. It`s 24 meets Bourne with echoes of M.I 5. A fast and spectacularly furious roller-coaster ride.

July 10, 2012Had no clue this movie would be about Suicide Bombers in UK. It's very similar to V for Vendetta in terms of large-scale picture. Spoiler: government growing terrorists to push anti-privacy agenda and win the election.

Plodding, somewhat misbegotten, and never slick enough to sweep us along. Full Review

There's a lovely frisson between Bean and Rampling that makes you think what James Bond and M could be. Full Review

David Aldridge, Radio Times

Mark Adams, Daily Mirror [UK]
A slick action drama with a strong cast, including Tuppence Middleton, Charlotte Rampling and Michelle Ryan, that delivers in terms of violence, gunplay and conspiracy thrills. Full Review

Philip French, Observer [UK]

You couldn't ever accuse Hadi Hajaig's film of being one-sided: it has two, both of them stupid. Full Review

Alex Zane, Sun Online
As if we don't have enough gullible folk believing 7/7 and 9/11 conspiracy theories already, this poor thriller comes along to popularise the paranoia. Full Review
