In this movie, Idris Elba is tougher than a coffin nail and he also acts like it. An interesting action movie without a pinch of any emotion.

Bastille Day is likable action movie with the hard-fisted Idris in the role of a CIA badass who solves every situation by disobeying orders, bending the rules and shooting people. Almost like one of Besson’s very best screenplays fell from his desk. A lot of borrowing goes on in all directions, but director James Watkins, who had a hit with his Eden Lake, always channels the action into the right genre alley. And the lesson learned? Maybe this will persuade American muggers not to rob European tourists.

Bastille Day is a pleasant action thriller with a very good pace and, above all, characters that are more than bearable. Idris Elba is excellent as a secret agent; I don't know why I didn't believe him as an action character. Plenty of villains, plenty of shooting, basically everything you expect from such a movie. I am satisfied, even though the plot is simple. Sometimes it doesn't matter.
