BLITZ (2011)

A killer on the loose and he is happily killing cops. A team of one bad cop and one good cop are chasing him. Sounds familiar? Well this time it’s ‘Blitz’ and earlier it was some other flicks from the past. 

Blitz is a usual crime movie. There is a very bad man who does very bad things. And there is a cop who has gone a bit bonkers and out of control taking the law in to his hands and the department seems to have had enough of him. The good department head decides to bring in fresh talent from outside to solve the cop killer’s case and the bad cop is ordered in to the team. Surprisingly the good cop and the bad cop get together and catch the nasty cop killer and give him what he deserves. 

Good thing is the bad cop is Jason Statham. This makes the movie to feel a bit special. And then I wondered if it was played by someone else weather the movie matters at all! Most probably not. 

Blitz is a very violent movie. Within 2 minutes of taking off it starts to break bones and severe sort of violence than that soon afterwards. And the story is pretty straight. This is quite strange because almost all crime thrillers have twists. But this does not until the last 5 mts of the story. Even that is not so WOW. So I’ll just call it a twist for the sake of it.

But Blitz is not a boring movie. If you like crime and mad cops you will get through this pretty well.
