A Hitman in London (2015)

The greatest movie ever made..!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Blistering performances.

Skin Traffik's action is fast paced and very slick. Just like the Directing, camera-work, editing and choreography, very graceful indeed. This is a refreshing change to the current number of low-rent genre exercises over the last several years. This picture provides a great alternative to Hollywood Blockbuster nonsense. Well Directed this film takes you into the world of human trafficking and adds a burst of action and martial arts into the mix. A cross between Taken and Kiss of The Dragon this highly entertains and even has moments of comedy which adds to the overall enjoyment. The film is even setup for a sequel and hopefully we will be seeing it soon. Action packed direct to video movie heaven.

Action movies like this will always have their, mostly male and indiscriminate audience satisfied with endless shoot-outs, explosions, beat-downs and big guns and knives. Exactly what I expect from a good action movie. Huge Star Cast, Guns, Car Chases, Violence, Gore, Cheesy Dialogue and a standard action movie storyline. Obviously anyone not happy with all of the above were expecting something more substantial but I couldn't have asked for anything more. Ara Paiaya creates an entertaining movie with wonderful use of the whole cast. The way each big name actor was used in the film was the best anyone could of done. Classic! Every time there was a fight scene with action hero Gary Daniels, I was overwhelmed by the incredible action and variety of kills on the screen. Bottom line, don't listen to the troll reviews. Watch this movie!

There are in action movies two ways to go when it comes to fight sequences. The first and most common style in Hollywood is to bust a few moves then use shaky camera-work and quick edits to make an actor look like a martial arts master. The more challenging route and more popular in Asia is to choreograph an extended sequence, sit back, frame a nice wide shot and let the actor show their physical skills. Given that first-time Hollywood director Ara Paiaya is a martial arts expert and seems to have starred in a slew of DTV Kung Fu movies the fact that he opted for door number two is not surprising. Gary Daniels is real life martial arts master and this is displayed perfectly on screen in all action scenes. He could take all The Expendables in a real fight. The action scenes look painstakingly mapped out and executed with silky smooth precision. Daniels glides through moves with practiced ease, punching, kicking and shooting his way through the endless henchman. The sequences are inventive with Daniels fighting in various set pieces. The action is the film's main course and the director knows it, serving them up at steady intervals. The story most certainly is, existing solely to set Daniels in motion, then keeps the corpses coming. The films boasts an all star lineup of Hollywood veterans all of which deliver a cult worthy performance.

Enjoyable film bit of a Taken Reboot but with a much cooler cast and better hand to hand combat. I would recommend this to anyone who likes action and seeing lots of stars in one movie for example like in The Expendable films. Gary Daniels is at the peak of his powers as a killing machine in this British action film. Paiaya delivers a film which plays like one prolonged, glorified action sequence, in which dialogue and characterisation are strictly secondary. Bradley (Gary Daniels) leaves corpse after corpse in his wake, the storytelling becomes more and more preposterous – it's saving grace is the sheer operatic excess of the bloodletting. Certainly a timeless DTV action classic and even more so when you think of all the star power involved.
