A fun but unspectacular action flick. It has the wit you'd expect from a Guy Ritchie film, but it lacks the visual panache to turn it into something truly special. I wouldn't be too surprised if any sequels would turn up in the foreseeable future, the film seems tailored to support a franchise.
Statham, Plaza, and Malone make a fun trio, the comedy is on point, the action is plentiful and the many location switches keep the pace high. It's simple genre fare, properly funded and well executed, but it never transcends its genre. Ritchie can do a lot better, but it's still an amusing watch.
