2/5
Dialogue issues might matter less if the whole thing was a bit more wham, bam, thank you m’am, but the overall run time is distinctly baggy. Go to Full Review

2/5
The seventh entry in this action-thriller franchise remains unapologetically violent, giving its fans what they want and expect. Go to Full Review

Michael C @TheNamesBazza 8 hrs ago This is the worst film I have seen in 20 years and a disgrace to the franchise, boring drivel, rubbish dialogue, stupid subplots that make no sense and are totally boring, it is just cringe and has serious continuity errors. I cannot express how much I hate this film, Loveday and Nevern need their heads seeing too, terrible script, totally over the top and inflated just like the writers delusional heads, not only are Nevern and Loveday terrible writers, they are terrible actors as well. It is a film set in 1994 with all modern cars, modern clothes and tech, modern haircuts and tattoo styles and DJ Equipment, the film payed Insomnia in the first 2 minutes which wasn't released until late 1995 and then went on to play a track released in 2001, I am utterly shocked and appalled at this film we waited 2 years and they gave us this !!!!!! See more Timothy E @Tnice17 Oct 27, 2026 I was very disappointed with this movie. They advertising like it was full of action. But they really wasn't no action. Plus the movie was very slow. See more Peter D @Dazza536 Oct 22, 2026 Honestly I agree with the others, was hugely disappointed with this entry, yes it's been on a steady decline but i used to still enjoy watching what it was , gritty violence , music, birds and dr*gs. It is more confused than scooby do now , Pat Tate turning into some rambo/john wick/SAS soldier , same look on his face over and over , the other hooligan actors just awful with bad accents and crap dialogue. i don't know how they actually made it this bad, I did not even want to finish it. it made no sense and has lost everything that made it what it used to be. They need to just stop now or take a long break and try and get back to their roots at some point. See more Jamie O @RT05180198 Oct 21, 2026 I signed up just to leave this review. I love this franchise and will rewatch each film over and over. This is possibly the worst film I have ever seen, couldn’t even finish it, awful. Nothing like the previous films which admittedly aren’t the greatest but a good watch for the right crowd, this one was pure booty cheeks See more Christopher L @RT81718722 Oct 19, 2026 Quite possibly the worst film I’ve ever seen
 the acting is awful apart from the always brilliant tamar hassan, it’s the most cringe thing I’ve seen with the dodgy accents and the worse acting (Nick neven is a stand out terrible performance) pat Tate running around like a cockney John wick 😂 out witting the CIA See more Andrew F @RT49124647 Oct 19, 2026 This movie will mark the end of the franchise, sadly. Gone is any type and quality back and forth dialogue. Pat Tate is now just a hired mute with no point of difference. The movie just tries to be like a mix of all Rambo's. No wonder Terry Stone had no interest due to the direction the films have now gone in. This was a terrible film. See more Read all reviews
