  Bad acting bad directing worst film I have watched in a long time don't waste your time on it

• More entertaining spotting all of the bad bits

  Whoever was the military liaison for this needs shooting. Naval officer women plastered with makeup, Royal Marin boss with WW2 medal ribbons (I have the same set of my granfathers upstairs). Saluting the audience for medal collection, senior experienced soldiers (apparently) without medals. In todays day and age, any experience squaddie would have one. Some acting is actually OK but the timing is naff. The whole story is unbelievable. Shooting from the hip with intense accuracy. If it was filmed in USA then I could understand it. Watch the film for a laugh and some good looking ladies (and blokes).

• Nudity gave it a 10

  Acting was subpar...but gave it a 10 for the British nudity ????

• Truly shocking - for all the wrong reasons

  Man rides towards towards a government building on a motorbike in broad daylight and shoots a handgun towards 4 heavily armed guards with automatic weapons.... and survives. Enough said about this movie. Not a bad montage leading up to the action, so there's your one star Adam Collins (story/director/main actor)

• It's set in Nottingham. What's not to like?

  Absolutely loved this movie. Nottingham apparently has crazed terrorists, crooked politicians, private military contractors and much more - who knew? This is basically a British take on an American revenge movie. It's an entertaining mashup of Die Hard, Commando, Lethal Weapon and more. There's no real story being told. Some mumbo jumbo about a politician's kids being killed and him seeking revenge against the main character. There's also a subplot about Nottingham-bred terrorists. The acting is pretty bad. Only a few of the cast seem to have any experience or skill. There's also lots of (needless) swearing that sounds really strange because everyone talks in broad Nottingham accents. There's a little nudity but nothing too excessive. Some of the visual effects were obviously created on a budget and are pretty bad. Others are pretty good and up to the standard of American movies made with bigger budgets. Some of the fight scenes are terrible - you can actually see some people throw themselves down stairs well after being shot or otherwise dispatched! BUT the shootout at the end is incredible. It takes place in the Council House and involves countless killers with automatic weapons, lots of grenades and even a RPG. How the film makers got permission to film there is some sort of minor miracle. This is actually a passable action scene because it obviously received the bulk of the budget and a lot more care than the other fight scenes. I'm definitely going to be very careful if I ever need to sort out a Council Tax problem. Former stunt man Collins seems to do everything in this movie - he writes, stars and directs. As a showcase for his fighting skills, the movie is actually a good effort though it's limited by its budget. With more money, I can see him becoming like Scott Adkins in the future. If you make allowances for the low budget, the amateurish acting, the lack of any coherent plot and a million other flaws, you might enjoy this movie. If you know Nottingham, you definitely will get a kick from it. This has got to be the first ever American-style action movie featuring the East Midlands instead of New York, LA or another US city. It's worth seeing for that alone. This review is a little tongue-in-cheek but I've given the movie 10/10 because it tries very hard to establish Collins as a future action hero and features the UK for a change. Yes, it's pretty bad as movies go but you've got to applaud Collins for effort and for trying to be a little different.
