A Working Man Film Review
Jason Statham delivers a film similar to The Beekeeper but with more potential as an action movie series.
A Working Man with Jason Statham is out in theatres this week and is beating Snow White for the top of the box office. The movie is a lot of fun with Jason Statham's action delivering with a great character in Levon Cade and a cool supporting cast. There are some problems with the film, however, which stem from caricature villains as well as a couple of moments where the kidnapped young girl Jenny Garcia gets a little too “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” as a strong female lead in moments. These elements were not in the book Levon’s Trade, which was a much darker, more serious action thriller, and it’s a shame they didn’t follow the tone of that book more closely.
However, despite its flaws, Statham shines, the main character is well-developed, and there is a ton of fun action involved in the series. It’s worth watching and I rate it an 8/10.
My full review here:
I've heard - the book was better - my whole life.
Good for Dixon. The book should be better.
I enjoyed the movie but wish it had stayed faithful to the book, which was awesome.
