Jason Statham returns to the screen in his usual bulletproof, butt-kicking way in this surprisingly solid action flick from David Ayer (‘Fury’, ‘End of Watch’). As a former top-of-his-game operative, Statham is out for revenge (is there ever any other way?), hunting down an evil cyber-company that preys on seniors and drains their bank accounts with a single mouse click. He’s as stoic and determined as ever, and the tightly choreographed fight sequences (and, heavens, there are a lot of them) elevate the film out of mediocrity and help it emerge as a better-than-average beat-em-up thriller.
3.5/5 stars
