Review of Bastille Day

Bastille Day (2016)
7/10
Yeah it's alright...great even, if you like rapid cuts in fight scenes.

The good: The 2 leads play their roles well enough and are entertaining to watch. The movie clips along at a nice pace and whilst predictable, is entertaining from start to finish.

The bad: The dialogue / interactions between the protagonists is average - a missed opportunity with the 2 very capable actors. Whilst the action is ok, the editing is horrific. Especially during fight scenes. There are so many quick cuts and continuity issues it's nauseating (i.e., John Wick, this aint).

Should you watch it: Bastille Day / The Take is a solid action flick that is well paced and entertaining throughout it's 1.5hr runtime. A one-and-done only though.
