The film follows Brant, a tough cop with questionable ethics who teams up with Officer Nash to hunt down a crazed serial killer who targets police officers. A raw, gritty tale of moral ambiguity, outsiders and the sacrifices the police make to keep crime off British streets.

As conventional as you can get without needing an epilogue that says "...next week on Blitz."May 18, 2011
It's hard to know how seriously anyone besides Statham is taking this - but that only adds to its absurd, cock-eyed charm.August 16, 2011

It's gritty, down and dirty, and Statham has never been better.May 20, 2011
All three men give searing performances and young cinematographer Robert Hardy dwells with palpable relief on their expressive features.May 23, 2011
It is an unedifying film, slickly directed and photographed, but lacking conviction and much inferior to the police procedurals you can see any night on television.May 20, 2011
The denouement strains credibility, relying on a character showing restraint when they've merrily pulled the trigger for the rest of the film.March 11, 2016
