Statham needs this like a hole-in-the-head...


For the first 30 seconds I was thinking: "Awesome! Statham trying comedy (Snatch, The Italian Job, Mean Machine) in a movie like Hitch... turning ordinary guys into action heroes to get the girl."

And then it all went downhill... :(

From the trailer this movie looks completely interchangeable with any other of his recent action movies. Parker, Homefront, Safe, Killer Elite, The Mechanic... all of these lost money or barely broke even. And yet producers keep thinking that these movies are a draw for him.

It'll crap out at the box office but probably break even via VOD.

Another flick where Statham plays Jason Statham and voices-over his crime-fighting routine. Hmmm.
