Bastille Day

Enjoyed this movie quite a bit. Solid action, strong plot especially for an action movie. Gritty, hard hitting, action packed and cheesy dialogue.

Very enjoyable movie ! Good action and decent acting.

Enjoyed this movie quite a lot and although the lot wasn't something spectacular there were still great scenes like Elba going after Madden. Old school action, cast did its work and it definitely had some interesting fight scenes. Overall, it was much better that I expected it to be but still an enjoyable movie for anyone interested.

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

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.

6.5 script could use work

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

Pretty solid action movie. Nothing new for the genre, but a great vehicle for Idris.

Cracking film, and better than I expected! It ticks along very nicely with the help of some skillfully filmed chase and fight sequences. Dodgy and pointless accents aside, there are enough twists and turns to keep you entertained while you eat dinner. I'm sure people will pull it apart but don't let bad comments put you off watching this 92 minutes of thrilling action... 7.5/10

Quite good. Old-school hard-boiled action, cast did their job, so it was worth the money.
