The third movie of the day was a Thriller/action/heist movie that seemed to be a movie that I was going to like a lot. Unfortunately, plot contrivances brought my enjoyment of the tense film down too much.

According to IMDB, “An unexploded WWII bomb is discovered on a busy construction site in the centre of London. Chaos ensues as the military and police begin a mass evacuation against a ticking clock.“

That sounded exciting. What that synopsis left out was the heist that was taking place during the evacuation.

While I enjoyed a lot of the piece of the film, the story itself just became too unbelievable for me to accept the coincidences and the requirements for things to work out that the movie was expecting the audience to accept. I had a lot of trouble accepting most of this.

There are some solid parts to the film. The cast is excellent with Aaron Taylor-Johnson leading the way as part of the military on location to try to diffuse the bomb. We also had Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Ravonna Renslayer from Marvel’s Loki TV series), Theo James, Shaun Mason, and Sam Worthington.

The action was pretty good and the film does a really good job of building suspense for much of the movie. I just had a hard time with some of the twists that happen and some of the things that the film wants the audience to accept. Of course, I can not go into detail about these without spoilers so I will leave it at the fact that I did not find the story being told to be credible.

It is not a bad movie, but I could not get past the plausibility of the story.
