Jason Statham
Reviews Featuring Jason Statham
Average. Only Statham keeps this film alive with his square-jawed looks and almost irreverent expressions. If you like action movies (and in particular martial arts movies) go see this.
Flawed but exciting actioner with particularly outstanding car chase and fight sequences.
A workmanlike heist flick with some funny lines and some good (if brief) chases, but it is ultimately hampered by comparing itself to the original, better 'The Italian Job'. Probably the best way to enjoy this film is to ignore its title, and to think of it as an entirely different film with occasional sequences that merely pay homage to Michael Caine's cockney masterpiece.
Not a classic but, as Burt Reynolds remakes go, it could be much worse we could have Vinnie in a new Smokey and the Bandit.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Complex, comical, and streets ahead of the rip-off merchants, this is one of the most influential Brit-flicks of the 90s.
Lock, stock and no new ideas.
Its silly, its massively unbelievable, and it features the most grossly cynical amount of product placement youre likely to see but its just about exciting enough to be a guilty pleasure.
Even Cruises dodgy barnet cant take away from the fact that this is the best thriller of 2004.
Read all about it - Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren in poor acting shocker! As was always going to be the case, bags of testosterone filled action rescues The Expendables from being plain awful and makes it a fun watch instead.
A typical Jason Statham vehicle that delivers on action, plot and, most importantly, entertainment. Not a classic but a decent watch nonetheless.
A standard conspiracy thriller that looks great but doesn't really deliver on entertainment value. Gary McKendry does succeed in making watching Killer Elite feel just like stepping back in time to Britain in the grim 1980s though.
More of the same harmless killing and mostly intentional humour from this geriatric band of mercenaries. Obviously not for everyone.
