The Courier stars Olga Kurylenko as a mysterious and unstoppable ex-military operative who has to protect the star witness who is due to testify against Gary Oldman's New York crime lord.
It isn't the deepest story and it's not a tour de force like There Will Be Blood but it isn't trying to be. It aims to be an entertaining action movie with a cool and sexy lead and it's pulls that off with style. Pretty much the whole movie takes place in a multi-story car park and although it's confined to a single location it's never dull and the action is well done and surprisingly brutal and gory. It has it's silly moments and i found Amit Shah's character to be really annoying but is it a bad movie? Hell no, i've seen more well known movies with ten times the budget of this which are absolutely terrible. It's turn your brain off balls to the wall bloody action and since when was that a bad thing?
If you're a fan of action movies especially from the glory days before everyone was so easily offended then check it out, it's a fun time.
