Starring : Ray Winstone, Ben Drew, Hayley Atwell, Steven Mackintosh, Paul Anderson
Director : Nick Love
Running Time : 108 mins
Jack Regan (Winstone) is the kind of cop that other cops despise – he’s unconventional and uses methods that are frowned upon, but manages to get good results. So when he is faced with suspicions that known criminal Francis Allen (Anderson) is responsible for an armed robbery that resulted in the death of a civilian, he makes it his duty to bring Allen and his colleagues to justice, regardless of what he has to do and what his superiors have to Say about the matter.
Fans of the original series will enjoy seeing their favourite characters reimagined in this modern update. Winstone does a reasonable job in the lead role, with a supporting cast that manage to keep the movie gritty, but in some ways this might have been better if it had have been set in the mid to late 1970s, although then many might have just thought this was a version of Life On Mars. There are some good moments, but some of the storyline was a little confusing, especially with Regan’s arrest and release, even though he did commit a crime.
