Well made, some excellent set pieces but maybe too slow paced for some. The thing that really spoiled it though is Alex, the main character. He's a hateful, spiteful, self centered person and I spent most of the film hoping he'd be shot next. For example he refuses to allow a mother to rescue her child because he's in love with her, disconnects a radio when he finds out her husband is alive and then doesn't tell her he's alive, doesn't tell his father about his mother's funeral. He's a thoroughly unpleasant character so you feel no sympathy towards him. That's one of the main issues, we're supposed to empathise with the main star, even to a degree, but with Alex I ended up hating him.
score 6/10
