I went to the movie theatre without any high expectations. But the film was really good. It had a fast plot, it was interesting and fun to watch. It could have been something like Jason Bourne but the movie lacked one thing. A good protagonist. No matter how cute the main actor appeared, he could not convince anyone as an assassin. And the worst part , I mean the absolutely worst part ever is that they actually had the one and only, super fighter, Scott Adkins and they did not make him the protagonist. I saw the fighting scene where Scott gets his butt kicked by this child looking actor( I have no idea who he is actually) and afterwards he is stabbed and he dies. I mean WHY?? he is Scott Adkins. He is like Bruce Lee. Hollywood can't give him roles where he ends up dead. He was the one who should lead in this film. Not this kid. I was disappointed. Other than my disappointment on the actor, the film was good. It was fast, the plot was common and unusual at the same time. You still have the feeling ,ok I have seen that so many times (revenge, blood, fanatics with bombs and nukes, unfinished businesses, loss , fast paced movie, spies moving around the globe) but it had some originality. It was different than other films of this kind. I liked it. But if they had chosen Scott Adkins for the main role, the film would have been so much better
