Alright action movie lovers listen up! Jason Statham is back in a brand new flick and it looks like it's gonna be a wild ride. The movie is called A Working Man and from what we are hearing it is packed with everything we love about Statham: intense action cool fight scenes and a hero you just can't help but root for. Let's dive into what we know about this movie and why you should be marking your calendars.
From Quiet Life to Black Ops: Unpacking the Plot of Jason Statham's 'A Working Man'
In A Working Man Jason Statham plays Levon Cade a guy trying to leave his past behind. He used to be a legend in the shadowy world of black ops but now he is just trying to live a simple life working construction and being a good dad to his daughter. Sounds peaceful right? Of course not this is a Jason Statham movie!
Trouble kicks off when his boss's teenage daughter Jenny goes missing. Levon can't just stand by so he has to dust off those old skills that made him a legend in the first place. His search for Jenny pulls him deep into a dangerous criminal conspiracy. This is not just a simple missing person case. Things are about to get complicated and very very action-packed for Levon as he tries to navigate this dark world while protecting his new life.
Statham Ayer Stallone and More: The A-Team Behind 'A Working Man' Makes it a Must-See
The talent behind A Working Man is seriously impressive. David Ayer is directing. You know Ayer he is the guy who directed action-packed movies like The Beekeeper and End of Watch. He knows how to make gritty intense films and that's exactly what we expect from this one.
And get this Sylvester Stallone himself co-wrote the screenplay with Ayer. Yes THAT Sylvester Stallone. The action movie icon. Stallone knows how to write for action stars and he and Statham are a great match. Besides Statham the movie also stars Michael Peña and David Harbour adding even more star power to the mix.
Will 'A Working Man' Be Another Hit for Statham and Ayer? Following Up on 'The Beekeeper' Success
Speaking of David Ayer and Jason Statham this is not their first time working together. They teamed up recently for The Beekeeper and it was a surprise hit. It did well with audiences and critics showing that Statham and Ayer are a solid action movie combo. A Working Man is actually based on the book "Levon's Trade" by Chuck Dixon and some are saying it's almost like a spiritual successor to The Beekeeper.
There's buzz that A Working Man could be big for Ayer in another way. He has directed some well-regarded movies before like End of Watch and Fury but he has never had back-to-back "Fresh" movies on Rotten Tomatoes (meaning movies with a score of 60% or higher from critics). The Beekeeper was "Fresh" and if A Working Man also gets good reviews it would be a first for Ayer after 25 years in Hollywood. Fingers crossed it will be a critical and commercial success for both Ayer and Statham.
Statham's Still Got It: Balancing 'Working Man' with Fast Cars and Franchise Fun
Jason Statham is not just doing A Working Man. He is still super busy in the action movie world. He was back as Deckard Shaw in Fast X the latest movie in the Fast & Furious franchise. And guess what? He is expected to have an even bigger role in Fast X: Part Two which is filming soon. Plus there is still talk about a sequel to Hobbs & Shaw another Fast & Furious spin-off starring Statham and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. So yeah Statham is keeping his action star status strong.
