Critics Consensus

A middling crime thriller largely assembled from wearyingly familiar parts, Blitz sacks a game Jason Statham's performance behind the line of genre scrimmage.

Philip French

Guardian

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.

London Evening Standard

All three men give searing performances and young cinematographer Robert Hardy dwells with palpable relief on their expressive features.

Rated: 3/5

Roe McDermott

Hot Press

Smart, sharp, shocking, and at times bloody (and bloodily) hilarious, Blitz's witty script and pacy action elevates its simple premise into a brilliantly gritty tale of moral ambiguity.

Rated: 4/5

As conventional as you can get without needing an epilogue that says "...next week on Blitz."

If there are 30 Jason Statham films, this one probably comes in at 29 or 30. Nothing new here. Not a typical Statham vehicle. Cop drama that honestly isn’t all that interesting with side plots that go nowhere. Luke Evans was in this film. Can’t figure out why… needed rent money?

Blitz is a strange movie in that a lot of it is genuinely good and deserves praise for taking swings in its approach to the cop drama/crime thriller genres, but wonky editing and (I assume from the random costume/prop changes) unfinished scenes keep Blitz from being great.

A nice straight forward action film that is held together by a realistic charismatic villain who is a serial killer hunting cops and Jason Statham is trying to stop him.

Somewhat goofy in a couple places but an entertaining, fast paced overall good movie that is surprising given what I think are really unfair low scores. It's not going to win any awards but it's an entertaining watch!
