First thing first, this film is full of action. That's my 2 stars. The rest of the movie is a made for TV kids film. Problem being it's a 15 rating, when it should appeal to younger minds unless they have any experience watching better movies in which case they won't be satisfied too. This based on a book by SAS man Andy McNab. I find that hard to believe really.
The story is bad, along with the script and some of the acting. Why Wilkinson and Serkis did this is strange.
The storyline is unbelievable and has plot holes everywhere.
The casting is dubious, as the chief baddie played by Ruby Rose is so unconvincing and looks like she'll blow over in the wind.
Serkis' character on the other hand walks around with a Danny Dyer accent using F words in every sentence and is actually quite comical. Unintentionally comical. I really should have turned off after 30 minutes but kept going as others were watching.
Remove the swearing and you have an all action cartoon style movie for the comic reading generation.
As it is, it's a badly written B-Movie that insults your intelligence and not worth 2 hours of your time.
