Vital Reception
"Stratton" met with mixed reviews upon its release. While Dominic Cooper's efficiency as an unique forces soldier got appreciation, the film was commonly criticized for its clichéd plotline and absence of character depth. Critics suggested that the movie didn't always stand apart in the crowded genre of spy-thrillers and heavily counted on predictable tropes.

The film was likewise applauded for its fancy action series, especially a high-speed boat chase scene on London's Thames River. Simon West's experience with action-driven cinema showed up in the movie's action choreography.

Conclusion

It might interest audiences who take pleasure in action-packed sequences and extreme combat scenes. The movie attempted to be the first in a series, highlighting the character John Stratton from a series of books by Duncan Falconer-- an ex-SBS operative. Although it was enthusiastic in its scope, it didn't quite develop enough impact to develop a spy-thriller franchise.
