Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The movie blithely repeats most of the cliches of the American badass-cop flick, only in impenetrable Cockney.
– Kyle Smith,
New York Post,

rotten:
Maybe it worked in the '70s; it's too worn to work these days. Ray Winstone needs to find better rocks to chew on.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
1 Mar 2013
fresh:
Winstone is, as always, perfectly believable as a tough guy and after a slow start - due, somewhat, to American ears adjusting to those problematic accents - the film hits a groove.
– Stephen Whitty,
Newark Star-Ledger,
1 Mar 2013
rotten:
Based on a '70s British program, this is a bombastic effort that, while not successful, is still as bracing as a cold pint.
– Joe Neumaier,

rotten:
[It] feels a lot like an American-made cop movie circa 1990.
