“A Working Man” brings Jason Statham back to what he does best – quiet strength and then brutal action. In his second team-up with director David Ayer since “The Beekeeper,” Statham plays Levon Cade, a quiet construction foreman with a troubled past. His boss, Joe Garcia (played by Michael Peña), doesn’t care about Levon’s military background. At work, he’s just another worker trying to live a peaceful life. But that peace is shattered when Joe’s daughter, Jenny, is taken by a smuggling gang affiliated with a dangerous Russian mob.

Levon, who once promised to always protect Jenny, doesn’t think twice before jumping into action. Joe offers the money, but for Levon, it’s personal. His quiet promise now drives his every move. As he chases the criminals, we learn more about his life – he’s a widower trying to wrest custody of his daughter, Mary, from his cold father-in-law. His sense of family and responsibility adds emotional weight to his mission.

The Russian gangsters in “A Working Man” aren’t usually the bad guys. Like John Wick, they follow a secret code, run tight networks, and even have services to clean up crime scenes. When Levon hides his daughter and discovers Jenny’s kidnappers, the mob begins its own search to find out who’s after them and why.

While the film hints at more stories to come, those side threads remain in the background. The focus remains on Statham, who owns every moment on screen. Adapted by Ayer and Sylvester Stallone from Chuck Dixon’s novel “Levon’s Case,” the story is straightforward. Levon uses his skills to track down the villains, and when he does, things quickly turn violent. It’s no surprise, but for fans of gritty action, “A Working Man” delivers what they came for – Jason Statham doing what only he can do.

Plot

Jason Statham stars as Levon Cade in David Ayer’s latest film, “A Working Man.” This Amazon MGM Studios production sees Statham return to the high-octane action genre. Ayer previously teamed up with him in last year’s thriller “The Beekeeper.” Co-written by Sylvester Stallone, who has an astonishing 44 writing credits, mostly for his own Rocky films, the screenplay delivers the kind of adrenaline-pumping excitement fans have come to expect, even if it’s not on the high end. In the film, Statham plays a former elite soldier who now leads a construction crew for small-business owner Joe Garcia (Michael Peña) with the help of Johnny’s college-aged daughter, Jenny (Ariana Rivas). When Jenny is mysteriously kidnapped from a nightclub, Lavon must dust off his old fighting skills to get her back safely.

What follows is a familiar tale of fighting through layers of criminals, taking down villains one by one to save the girl. The action involves hand-to-hand combat, knives, guns, grenades, and plenty of gunfire. Sadly, the real explosive power here isn’t just in the bombs on screen – it’s the predictable, overused script.

The action scenes in BEEKEEPER were great, but this movie doesn’t feel like a Jason Statham movie. There’s too much shooting and not enough of its usual close-up fighting. Plus, the fast cuts and dark lighting make the fight scenes less exciting than you’d expect from David Ayer and Jason Statham.

There could be a few reasons for this. Maybe Jason was injured or sick, so they couldn’t find a stunt double who looked and moved like him. Or maybe the lighting team wasn’t there, so they had to film in low light. The sound wasn’t clear either – sometimes it was hard to hear because of the mumbling or background noise. That might have helped because what was being said wasn’t very interesting.

The story and the main character feel very similar to what Statham has done from his early popular films to his many years as a star.
