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.

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.

The French and action simply go together, and here it fits well. Idris Elba is rightly tough, but Richard Madden as a pickpocket is also a pleasant surprise, and paradoxically the pickpocketing scenes are more interesting than the action ones, which lacked roughness and an R-rating touch. The brisk pace is also a plus. An okay one-off, but it doesn't work out at 4 for me. 65%.

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.
