Not sure why "Codename Devil" has such a low rating, because this is a really decent military action thriller.
The back story is straightforward but provides enough context and depth, as a launch pad for polished, compelling and frenetic action. Gun play in particular, is convincingly done. You get a real sense of how a private contractor, might operate.
Acting is above average too. You invest in the main lead, sympathise with his and the plight of other veterans, who find it hard to adapt back, into mainstream society.
Perhaps the only limitation, is the ending, felt like it needed a little something more.
In summary, a strong military action thriller from Poland, that blends a convincing back story, with great weapons scenes. Well worth a look.
