STRATTON Cert 15 ★

Digital today, disc January 1 Unintentionally funny and fistbitingly terrible throughout, this sub-James Bond action thriller is a washout.

The unfortunate Dominic Cooper stars as Sergeant Stratton, a commando in the Special Boat Service chasing a terrorist armed with stolen chemical weapons. The British actor was a replacement for Superman’s Henry Cavill, who sensibly dropped out at the last minute.

Director Simon West anticipated this being the first in a franchise to rival 007, but as it took a dismal £53k at the UK box office, I imagine Daniel Craig won’t be sweating inside his tuxedo just yet.
