Review: Even Idris Elba can't save this cheap and mediocre knock-off
Matt Adcock reviews Bastille Day, starring Idris Elba
Meet Sean Briar (Idris ‘Luther’ Elba) – a maverick CIA Agent described as “reckless and irresponsible” in his official assessment. When a bomb is stolen and kills innocent people on the streets of Paris, Briar goes off the deep end punching, shooting and generally cutting a swathe of destruction across the city in order to stop the criminals behind it.
Unwillingly aided by desperate pickpocket Michael Mason (Richard ‘Game of Thrones’ Madden), the scene is set for a buddy action race against the clock to foil a daring violent heist.
