Idris Elba is well cast as Sean Briar, a CIA agent on the trail of a Paris bomber. He is a bit of a 'one tough guy against the world' type character who he plays very well. It's a bit of a job application for the James Bond roll, but is an enjoyable thriller nonetheless.
Richard Madden plays, Michael Mason, a cheeky pickpocket, who steals a handbag that, unbeknown to him, contains a bomb. When the bomb explodes Mason becomes Paris's most wanted and is hunted by Briar. There is a great chemistry between the two leads and although the story is a little predictable it bubbles along nicely with some good action scenes and stunts.
The movie is nothing special, but throw in the wit of Mason and you have a descent movie with a few laughs for good measure.
