Apparently a Sky Original movie based on an Andy McNab novel, this turns out to be a simplistic DIE HARD on a train copy with a real lack of money that becomes quickly apparent thanks to poor FX, cheesy CGI backgrounds throughout, and a particular dearth of talent when it comes to shooting the many action sequences. It's a far cry from UNDER SIEGE 2, a long-term favourite of mine; instead, we get a posh boy hero battling against Ruby Rose (unbelievable as a tough character once more) while the likes of Andy Serkis, Tom Hooper and others are criminally wasted in their roles. Squint and it might be just about passable in places, but it really should be a lot better than that. And some of the dialogue is truly hideous.
