Bastille Day

"With all this wishful talk of Idris Elba making a great next Bond, who knew, he would be even more suited to taking the mantle of Jason Statham? Bastille Day offers adequate evidence of this, casting Elba’s towering, hulking physique in a punchy, if not particularly ambitious, showcase while slipping him pithy one-liners to offset how scary he can actually be."

"It’s Watkins’ lean, keen instinct for choreographing and cutting action set pieces that keeps Bastille Day afloat."

"If you’ve ever fantasised about a Luther-Robb Stark crimefighting duo, look no further."

"The thing actually docking this unpretentious ride is a nagging shortage of charm..."

"It’s a bit silly maybe, with a plot that requires you to overlook the implausibility of a certain smartphone with no passcode protection. But there is a nifty premise."

"A cheesy but enjoyable Paris set thriller which underlines Idrs Elba's fast rising credentials as an action hero."

"A shoddy blend of V for Vendetta and Mr. Robot but without the budget bandwidth or style of either."

"It rarely makes sense... but you’re never bored."
