Is this guy some type of superhero? How does he catch motorcycles on foot? Hmmmm, I'll keep going.

I felt the same way. One cop chasing the bad guys?

I thought cops had partners. Maybe not so in England.

I think the point at that juncture too is that he's supposed to be unarmed. So one cop trying to take down an armed band of thieves, by himself. Stop in the name of the law!

Yes, I thought cops had partners too. Where was Sarah? Where was anyone? There's not even any traffic in the chase scene and it's in London one of the bigger cities in the world. Yet it's like a ghost town.

Good cast wasted in a very crappy movie. Hard to believe Ridley Scott had some involvement with it.

There would not really be any traffic in a financial district in the middle of the night, we don't place Pizza shops and bars in stupid places.

Duh! London's not a quiet little village. There's zero traffic. It's like a ghost town. 🐭

Assuming they are doing the job in the early hours of the morning, it is like a ghost town. The City is dead quiet e.g. 4am on a Monday/Tuesday night at this time as we have all gone home (prob 300,000 work in the City, less than ten thousand actually live there).

In the Heart of Canary Wharf, where the outside scenes are shot, it is the same as The City - ghost town. Nearby Canary Wharf there are plenty of Thameside flats around but where HSBC, Citibank, KPMG etc are, no one lives - they are purely office blocks, void apart from 24/7 security guards.
