Lars Mikkelsen is super in this violent revenge thriller, doing a Rutger Hauer as a disabled assassin with mad skills. He’s on a vengeful quest for a Balkan war criminal-turned-East End crime lord, while also mentoring teen waif Montana (McKell David). Leon meets The Karate Kid in the training for a fateful climax, foiling gangsters, corrupt cops and a tough but baffled DCI (Michelle Fairley). All this from a derelict hideaway with suspiciously spectacular London views. Ali pulls out all the stops, even going for a Cronenbergian bathhouse brouhaha, for a tale with more character than the usual Mockney thuggery.
