Monday Movie Mania - A Working Man

Hey, if a movie stars Jason Statham, I'll drag DH kicking and screaming to see it. Not that I have to drag DH. Nor does he kick and scream. Jason always delivers on everybody's fantasies.

PROS
1) Actually, there's not a lot to spoil here. This is a standard Statham action flick. Violence, mayhem, and the bad guys getting what they deserve.

2) The stand out is Arianna Rivas as Jenny. She's the victim Statham's character is trying to rescue. However, Jenny is no damsel in distress. She delivers her own abuse to her captors and nearly escapes on her own except for a bit of bad luck.


CONS
1) Michael Pena as Statham's boss and David Harbour as Statham's blind friend were horribly under-used in this film. They could have provided some needed humor in this film.

2) The editing was a little weird in the action scenes. Jason is two years younger than me, and I think the editors were trying to disguise that Jason, like me, no longer has the sharpness and range of motion he used to.


Overall, A Working Man is a fun weekend B-flick. I give it 8 stars out of 10.
