It's more rip-snorting action than Fox.Seb Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02825706166433888211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515676111354157450.post-88850613869286007302016-06-20T17:31:28.629+01:002016-06-20T17:31:28.629+01:00Haven't seen that one at all.

That was great fun as well, and much more of a war/action movie, as I'm sure you know.Seb Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02825706166433888211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515676111354157450.post-82307573532132071892016-06-20T09:13:09.644+01:002016-06-20T09:13:09.644+01:00Excellent review.
