So this is a man fantasy. Like "if you had 24 hours to live and where somehow forced to do so as a psychopath, what would you do?" fantasy. Even so it's fun and I like Jason Statham. Not only is he a RL bad ass but his mix of thug and lost little boy work well in this movie. Just don't expect deep themes or multiple layers. It's not really misogynistic but it certainly objectifies women (the longest scene with a woman in it is the hero bending her over a mailbox in front of a crowd of applauding tourists. Really).
But if you are not easily disguested by a film that's like Grand Theft Auto brought to life (a fact played up by the film) this is a lot of fun and probably even worth watching more then once.
A suprising B+
