Me and Mr.S watched this last night.

Bloody brilliant film.

If you like a strong topical action thriller, you'll like this.
Chan and Brosnan are superb. In fact, all the cast do a great job.
It's a two hour film that seemed half that.

Yep - agree with this. Hadn't heard anything about it but popped up on Netflix and was very pleasantly surprised.

It’s not the usual Jackie Chan fayre - very good indeed - and I love most of his movies.

I just suggested it and got 'that look'. Snowed in today, looks like more slush ahoy...

Well worth a watch. More serious than his usual films, although we like those as well.

Really enjoyed it, Jackie Chan showed what a very competent actor he is, totally unexpected. The final scene with the anti-terror police was brilliant.

Yeah I thought it was great different to what I expected (I like the "standard" Jakie Chan stuff) but it was excellent

That was awesome!

Pity there was no outtakes at the end though!

I enjoyed it, Jackie Chan is something of a miracle, especially considering his age.

Brosnan really got a chance to act for once.

Certainly better than that other Netflix film Bright

Just started watching it. So far I am very impressed with how accessible both the top brass of the Met are, as well as leading Northern Irish politicians. 8)

Just about to watch Jeepers Creepers 3. I don't expect to be writing a similarly enthusiastic review of it.

Quite liked it, good to see Jackie doing something out of his comfort zone, I thought he was really good. +1 on the lack of outtakes! đŸ™‚

Certainly better than that other Netflix film Bright

Expected a lot from that and bailed 20 minutes in. It's like they had a pre-prod meeting and the first thing on the board was "no pace".

I laughed at the thought of the "pitch" to produce the movie.
Jackie chan -"hopeless combat specialist takes on the ira ". Guffaw.
Steven Seagal should take note.
It made my ironing pile zoom by . đŸ™‚

3/10 from me, something wrong with the directing
pierce held it together otherwise it would have been a write off

Just at the shootout scene in the flat.

.....mindless entertainment, wonky dialogue. Perfect Sunday night entertainment.

I enjoyed it, never heard anything about it and had no expectations of it being good really. I think that's what made it good. If someone told me it was great and I should watch it then it would probably have been more meh.

Isn't this stuff objective? I just tried watching it and couldn't bear it!

It was pretty fun, but was hoping that it turned into some epic deeply dark revenge flick.... an updated/higher budget Dead Mans Shoes.... it wasn't.

Can't help thinking Brosnan has a look of Gerry Adams about him

Teresa May and Gerry Adams were brilliant in it too. đŸ™‚

I thought teresa was a rather "overacted" in the sense she appeared to have some personality which was just very unrealistic

Missus out at gig so telly to myself. Liked it, not seen a film like that in a while, reminds me of Patriot Games (barring obvious IRA connection).

Chan's getting on a bit though, obvious CGI on roof and not many stunts. Good to see him doing serious stuff again though.
