Detective Sergeant Tom Brant (Jason Statham) is a hot-headed cop who is tasked to bring down a serial killer who has been on the loose in London targeting police officers.

This is a pretty average Statham flick that never reaches anything more than that. It is not his worst film, but its no where near his best either. I have a hard time hating most Jason Statham films just because most of the time its fun to see him kick everyone's ass. Even if the plot doesn't make sense, always a good time watching him. This was no different.

This movie may have benefited more by not revealing who the killer is so early. The killer is played by Aiden Gillen who is great, however he never really develops as a character. From the moment he first appears to his last scene, he doesn't ever evolve to anything more than a one dimensional killer. This comes down to the poor writing and no fault of Aiden's. He worked with what he had.

We have this whole sub plot involving another officer PC Elizabeth Falls (Zawe Ashton) which never mounts up to anything. She tries to help a young gang member, but it added nothing to the main plot and took away from some of the enjoyment that this had. Zawe was pretty good in her role, its just too bad her character was never that important to the story.

Blitz never mounts up to what it could be, if there was just more meaning to the characters and the story, then it could have been better. 5/10.
