I don’t need to know what a movie is about if Statham is in it. It’s an obvious watch for me.

Just Jason Statham doing Jason Statham stuff.

Jason Statham is great at Jason Statham stuff though.
Would you rather he do Jason Bateman stuff?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 5 days ago

I think, at this point in his career he should keep on doing what he is obviously good at as long as people pay to watch it. Perhaps we'll get another gem like Crank, perhaps not.

Jason Statham is Jason Statham in A Working Man, featuring Jason Statham.

Isn't this the same premise as The Beekeeper?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's a pretty similar premise to half his films. Guy with impressively murderous skillset tries to be normal but some baddies just want to provoke him. Like a budget John Wick.

It is just Transporter 8 but the last 5 haven’t had cars.

This time he's transporting his foot up their ass!
