"David Mackenzie's Fuze kicks off in comically rapid-fire fashion, with brief, interrupted shots of various characters discovering ... well, something. And its clipped cadence never really pauses after that."
"Chief among the familiar faces is Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the stoic, gruffly professional explosives-disposal expert Major Will Tranter, who shows up at a construction site in the heart of London where an unexploded, 1,000-pound WWII bomb has just been found."
"Somewhere in those now-abandoned buildings, however, some figures stir in the darkness: A mysterious group of men led by the quiet X and the industrious Karalis, who are using the bomb evacuation as cover for a bank heist."
"Fuze jumps from twist to twist without ever settling down. It's an effective way of keeping us from asking too many questions."
