Statham playing...
The same exact character that he plays in every single one of his films.
I guess he's playing himself ...

So what? You want to see him in pink tights?
shareReturn to the glory of the 80s action movies.
shareLike many action stars and movie stars in general before him did. Been waiting for him to do Shakespeare myself, but if it ain’t broke… ;P
shareSome people can get away with that type of thing: Christopher Walken and Charles Bronson for example. They are always the same in every movie, but it doesn't bother me. Same with Jason. At least he got to be funny a couple of times in the 8th Fast & Furious movie with that baby.
shareWalken? Contrast Nick from The Deer Hunter with Max Zorin from A View To A Kill. Way different characters.

shareYou know what you're getting with a Jason Statham movie. Put your brain in neutral and enjoy the mayhem. IMHO, he is one of the best in the business at doing that.
shareThe strong silent hero who punishes evil is an important cultural icon, if you’re an actor who can play it convincingly (as Statham can, he’s one of the few remaining male movie stars with some actual testosterone) then it’s a smart move.
