'A Working Man' Hits Theaters With Jason Statham Leading Action-Packed Thriller

The David Ayer-directed film, co-written with Sylvester Stallone, opens to mixed reviews, praising Statham's performance but critiquing its formulaic approach.

Jason Statham stars as Levon Cade, a former Royal Marine turned construction worker, who embarks on a violent mission to rescue his boss's kidnapped daughter from human traffickers.
The film, directed by David Ayer and co-written by Sylvester Stallone, adapts Chuck Dixon's novel 'Levon’s Trade,' the first in a 12-book series.
Critics commend Statham's reliable performance and the intense action sequences but note the movie's reliance on familiar action tropes and underdeveloped supporting characters.
The movie introduces a supporting cast including Michael Peña, David Harbour, and Arianna Rivas, with Harbour playing a blind war buddy who assists Cade.
Positioned as a potential franchise starter, 'A Working Man' is now playing in theaters, distributed by Amazon MGM Studios.
