Has the best conditions that an action film can only wish for. In fact, it offers 116 minutes of down-to-earth popcorn entertainment for everyone who has always liked B-Movies. If you take a closer look, you will Be quite frustrated of at least one thing. The film has been running in the cinema since March 26.
That’s what a working man is about with Jason Statham
Levon Cade (Statham) has left his days behind as an elite soldier of the British Royal Marines and works as a foreman for the building contractor Joe (Michael Peña). When his daughter (Arianna Rivas) is kidnapped by tugs and the police remain idle, Cade reactivates his murderous talents, to save the young woman.
Take a look at the trailer for A Working Man:

All Statham fans will understand in a fractions of a second what kind of film this is. As in The Beekeeper, The Expendables or The Mechanic, Statham embodies an unstoppable killing machine that, due to its soft core, makes a swing of destruction by various demographies. For most fans, it is not important whether this is a revolutionary exceptional work, but rather whether the action can be entertained. And that can.
A Working Man has two large action strengths
Director David Ayer stages rapid combat scenes, the high level of violence gives them additional momentum. When Cade mixes bikers with broken bottles or the Russian mafia disassembled with sniper rifle and trench knife, the pure uncompromising is entertained every genre fan.
Incidentally, the production design of the film looks good enough to give it a glamorous coat of paint. A red-colored bar cave with dead heads and chrome decoration, a disgusting torture fell for super -rich Or a simple authentic construction site: Many settings are noticeable due to their aesthetics. And if you don’t do it, at least don’t tear the viewer through your ugliness from the film.
A Working You have a problem: an unnecessarily complicated script
So if you like Jason Statham’s down-to-earth action cracker, you will be entertained a working. However, this does not mean that the film has no weaknesses: on the contrary, the greatest stands in the way of the flawless action pleasure. The whole script is Simply completely unnecessarily complicated.
Various levels of Russian mafia, business relationships between bikers, drug cures, perverse super -rich and gangsters, spoiled gangster children with drug problems, corrupt cops: all figures that appear in quick sequence in a quick sequence, but have no entertainment for the actual plot. Perhaps Ayers wanted to represent a whole, semi-mythological criminal world according to John Wick model. In fact, you only wonder most of your time why the script So many irrelevant figures introduced.
Incidentally, you can, politically speaking, a working one can only be called dusty: people with migration roots are either criminal or helpless, the robust white lonpler can save them alone. The state is unable or corrupt. And women have nothing better to do than be beaten or kidnapped. A Working One would have preferred to have the dramaturgical straightness of John Wick: Chapter 4 should be a model than the questionable morality of Rambo: Last Blood.
But being surprised by this would be absurd: there are enough examples in the filmographies of Stallone, Statham or Ayer, which work according to very similar criteria. A Working You are not surprised with politics or straightforward form, but with hand edge strokes, Schrotsalven and Blood splashes. The film may be overambitious, but he knows his audience exactly.
A Working You have been running in the cinema since March 26, 2025.
