It's just Luther with an American accent really. I did enjoy it though.

Some movies that are 3 hours long just fly by, this one, 90 minutes long but seems to drag on forever!! Seems like they just got Idris Elba because they thought he's a cool and talented actor and just threw up a $50 movie around him. Stupid plot, shallow, superficial under-developed characters that it's hard to even care about and naff script. Jeez even the music credits are awful. Some are saying Elba could be the new James Bond, not on the back of this he won't be.

It was a good cast, apart from that the script was fairly poor

Pretty good, for what it is. 'Bastille Day', or 'The Take' for us in my neck of the woods, is a sound action thriller that suitably entertains. Idris Elba has played this sorta role many a time but there's no doubting how strongly he performs in such films. He and co-star Richard Madden are sporting distracting (at least to someone who knows them more for their native tongue) accents, but are a solid pairing... their (admittedly somewhat minimal) buddy cop-esque banter isn't the best, though. Elba also appears in the end credits singing... not to great effect, I gotta say. Don't get me wrong I know that guy can very much do music, it's just that this song is, erm, not his strongest work, let's just say that. It's largely predictable, though it does things in a manner that kept me interested and enjoying what I was setting eyes on. So it gets a pass from yours truly.

The CIA and Paris.. What's up with that? Jason Bourne had an apartment there, Bryan Mills lost his daughter there, Ethan Renner has his "last" mission and Charlie Wax made one big mess. Okay, sure, those last three were from the mind of Luc Besson, probably just representing his hometown More

Well this just goes to show that you can put two hot blokes in the same film, set it in Paris, add some car chases and pyrotechnics - and still end up with a dud. Richard Madden (and his terrible attempt at a Nevada accent) is "Mason" an accomplished pickpocket who manages to get himself embroiled i More

**One wrong move made a small time thief a target.**

The first thing is this film came at the worst time in the history of France. If it was set in elsewhere in the world would have had less issue, but the Paris terror attack and this theme had lots of similarity. I mean it was nothing to do with More

This film is like the ghost of action-conspiracy thrillers past and of action-conspiracy thrillers to come. It is a mere shadow of the better films in the genre despite that fact all the constituent parts are there. Explosions, car chases, hoo-ha gruntastic fight scenes, tough guys not playing by th More
