A Disappointing Continuation

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Not a truly terrible film... a decent enough watch if you're a bit bored one night... but to see Dominic Cooper (who was so incredible in 'The Devils Double', a performance that should have won him many awards!) in such an insignificant film... bit depressing. Apparently he came on board at the last minute when Henry Cavill dropped out. Hey, actors gotta work! Hope the cheque was big enough!

Great action movie - no, but a good one, after which I didn't feel as if I wasted my time. This movie reminds me a lot of a compressed season of "24", with Dominic Cooper's character analogous to Jack Bauer. Action was good, a couple of plot twists, casting was actually very good.Bad guy was very good - not an over-the-top characterization, but something more believable.The movie did play like a made-for-TV show, but not in a bad way. Less budget and special effects than a theatrical release, but still quite good. I'd watch it again.If you like "24", you'll like this.

A British Special Boat Service commando tracks down an international terrorist cell. Simon West once upon a time directed action films such as The Expendables 2, The Mechanic, Tomb Raider and Con Air now he makes films such as Gun Shy and Stratton and i gotta say this film was boring from start to finish. First of all the acting from Dominic Cooper was bland as hell i mean the guy is good as Howard Stark but he is no "Schwarzenegger" type of action hero and that shows a lot threw out the entire film. Talent goes wasted completely since actors such as Derek Jacobi and Connie Nielsen (Wonder Woman) find themselves and their talent going threw the damn window. The action sequences are boring and useless (especially the Opening one) and what the hell is Draco Malfoy doing in here? Overall Stratton is a boring mess of an action film where money talks and talent gets wasted a lot. (0/10)

Right from the beginning this had a straight to DVD / TV feel to it. An excellent cast seem wasted and Connie Nielson is totally miscast with a horrible accent, I usually like her too. Like others have said, the action scenes are poor and the music was awful and brought nothing to the Film, maybe they didn't have the budget. At one point Chen's character mentions NATO rounds being 7.62, when they are now 5.56, but I am just being picky. Any way I lost interest after about 30 minutes. I have liked Simon West's movies in the past but he has seriously lost it of late. On the whole a Sub Par effort.
