Henry Cavill is certainly an handsome man, but somehow he hasn't the gravitas to carry the leading role here. He is "Marshall", a cop especially requested to lead an investigation by the recently arrested, and slightly deranged, "Simon" (Brendan Fletcher) - who might turn out be a serial killer of young women. Add to the mix, a retired judge "Cooper" (Sir Ben Kingsley) whose daughter was a victim, and who has now turned highly effective vigilante and we ought to have had the ingredients for a decent man-hunt movie. Instead though, we get some weak performances and a storyline that meanders all over the place. Of course, "Marshall", has domestic baggage - an ex-wife and a daughter he is rarely allowed to see, but what's that got to do with the plot? His new partner "Rachel" (Alexandra Daddario) offers more by way of story development - she is to be a lure after the best armed motorcade seen in a long time carrying "Simon" - is ambushed and he escapes to carry on his reign of terror. The production is not good. The continuity is poor, people and entire convoys are there, then they are not, then they are again... It's all just a bit sloppy. By the end, you have a pretty clear idea of what is going to happen and though it's quite quirky, it's all just a little too lightweight to sustain the interest for what seems like a very long hundred minutes.

Pretty stunning how this film managed to get the cast it did. The pacing was terrible thanks to some dreadful editing, where it seems random scenes were cobbled together to churn out some half-baked crime-thriller, a genre I generally enjoy. This was just a chore to sit through. **1.5/5**
