Statham struts his stuff!

Thanks to the friendly neighbourhood DVD peddler (now he is nicely housed in an air-conditioned 'everyday low prices' local mart), we have the opportunity to view plethora of genres of movie at the comfort of our home without having to wait for it to be screened at our local cinemas. Some of it may not even make it to our silver screen as it may not appeal to the masses, hence not profitable to its owners!
One of my current action heroes, Jason Statham - the broody sour faced TNT packed sculptured body with martial skills to complement who has a string of followers after the Transporters trilogy and many other action packed movie where he did many of his own stunts - starred in a new action killer cops and cop killer flick called 'Blitz'. You cannot expect a highly cerebral charged storyline in this action flick but is an outlet to be awed of the whiteman's tenacity and skills in stupefying his audience (should it not be spectators as we are impressed with the visual imagery even though we are watching in an enclosed building?) and unwind after a hard day's work. Of course, critics would assert that all these overwhelming life like action, gore, profanity and violence just numbs your soul and body to become a blob of feelingless piece of amorphous meat.
This movie that I had the privilege of watching even before it made it to the local theatres is a British effort with scenes taken in the streets of London. (Statham is a Britisher himself). It is probably not suitable for the prim and proper whose day of senseless violence is the sight of a dead lizard. The characters find comfort in expressing themselves better with the F word as a prefix, suffix and when and where as they like to emphasize their point and ventilate their feelings. The F word must have been uttered only slightly less than used in 'Raging Bull'. If I remember well, 'Raging Bull' still holds the record with 272 times the F word being uttered in the unedited version. And the level of violence is not for the 'touch me nots', with many scenes with the cricket bat (being British), hits on crotch, knees and flying kicks on face (as if you do not see these in Ghajini and many Kollywood and Bollywood shows, just that it does not appear so fake). Hey, Jason Statham actually laughs in this movie!
Still what the hell, it is just a movie! But isn't the subtle messages slowly going to creep into your psyche and influence your thinking away the path of righteousness?....
