Wellesley Barman: Only thing buddy, we're closed.
Detective Sergeant Tom Brant: [reaches over counter and grabs a glass] Listen up, I'm only gonna say this once. I ain't your buddy. When I ask for a drink, you say, ice with that sir? Now let's begin again. A double Irish.
Wellesley Barman: You want ice with that, sir?
Detective Sergeant Tom Brant: Don't be ridiculous, who needs ice.
Wellesley Barman: [pours it] That'll be five quid.
Detective Sergeant Tom Brant: [drinks it down] Like you said, you're closed.

Did You Know?
Goofs
When Porter Nash is introduced to the force, the Superintendent lifts up a newspaper explaining that they are already under a media frenzy. The newspaper says that a second officer has already been shot dead before it actually happens in the film and the photo features a man, when the first officer to be shot was a woman.

Some nice camera work, stylish blurring, but pretty clichéd police drama. Jason Statham does what Jason Statham normally does, he's utterly typecast as kind of British Dirty Harry, but it's not new anymore like it was in Snatch/The Transporter.
His sidekick is not nearly as interesting as the little guy in Snatch or the girl in Transporter.
Good work from Aiden Gillen (the guy who played Tommy Carcetti in The Wire) as the bad guy. Zawe Ashton is also interesting as a WPC with a drug problem.
Mainly the plot seemed a bit disjointed and contrived. Overall it felt like a TV police drama. Nothing special.
