One of the better Adkins movies, martial arts usually is good in his movies but here you can really see the possibility oh him being an actor, too. Good chemistry between the leads.

It was so formulaic it was boring to watch. They took an hour and a half of lines and scenes from other movies, mashed them together, and went to print. Summary: a movie made completely of video and script cliches.

TERRIBLE! START TO FINISH. I cannot believe anyone would rate this over 1 star. I did laugh out loud more thsbjs once. Like when he had his hand broken with a hammer, then it's punching people in the next scene. OR when he gets shot twice in the arm, then hit by a bus, but has zero issues chasing down the chick, or when he gets beat up, concussed, cut and bleeding, and then 0 marks the next day.

A surprisingly good action film that relied on a more realistic story than an over the top one.

Yeah alright, story-wise it feels rather familiar and doesn't do anything we haven't seen before, but I'll be damned if Scott Adkins isn't one of the best action film stars currently around. Consistently underrated compared to his peers, the man's the real deal and with ‘Legacy of Lies', he once again proves that with the right fight choreographer and a director that knows how to shoot a brawl, he'll provide you with an abundance of high-octane, thrilling action sequences that involve a lot of people getting their asses handed to them in spectacular fashion. This one also has a bit of heart and humanity to go with the beatings, as well as being visually polished and boasting acting that's as good as you could hope for in the genre. Basically, it's just bloody entertaining stuff, and that's exactly what you came for.

Spoilers: Looks like Ben Affleck, talks like Jason Statham. Kicks butt like Jason Bourne his own self!! Whatever. London? Ukraine? Moscow? Where are we? Ukraine ingenue, bad women, news reporters, a ghost, a badass with little girl (the Professional Jean Reno with Natalie Portman?). CIA, MI6, FSB, Russians? Where's the mob? Hey, they are the mob! Fistfights, shootings, everybody was kung fu fighting! WTF? Blood thicker than vodka -- if only they hadn't jeopardized his kid. Bad rich guys runnin the world with lies. Take that, Vladdy! Tell us something we don't know. Precocious kids running the world is the ticket. Greta, where are you? Wait ... it's still the Russians ... or the CIA or MI6 ... or whatever. Actually not awfully done.

Despite the script's investment in character development, the power dynamic in any given scene always boils down to who has the biggest Uzi.

Flickering Myth

Another film where Adkins hits the right notes more often than not and delivers something with a mark of quality that many of his contemporaries are regularly failing to hit.

Action movie with a pro-free speech message; violence.

This here is a message movie, a genuine Ukrainian thumbing of the nose at Vladimir Putin, and it's packaged as a Scott Adkins movie loaded with thrills and spills. I can get behind that.

Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Martin's encounters in Russia are more innovative and engaging than The Old Guard which had $70 mil with 87eleven team. Fight choreographer Tim Man created bigger thrills by keeping it simple and letting Adkins perform it in long takes.
