David Ayer’s upcoming film, A Working Man, has generated significant buzz among movie enthusiasts following the release of its official trailer. Ayer has teamed up with none other than Sylvester Stallone to co-write the screenplay, and adding to the excitement, Jason Statham takes on the lead role. This talented trio promises a compelling cinematic experience.
A Working Man is adapted from Chuck Dixon’s 2014 novel, Levon’s Trade. Despite the abundance of adaptations, this one is worth a look, as hinted at by the action-packed trailer.
Jason Statham is A Working Man!
Jason Statham is no stranger when it comes to action keeping in mind his work in movies like The Transporter, Wrath of Man, The Expendables, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and The Mechanic. In fact, when it comes to the action genre, Statham should be the first pick for most directors, and his performance in David Ayer’s A Working Man explains why.
There’s high-octane action, plenty of blood, gunshots, flinch-worthy wounds, and so much more packed in a 2-minute and 54-second trailer, and Statham is at the center of it all. While the premise of the movie isn’t extraordinarily unique, Statham’s performance and the beautifully crafted action sequences enhance the excitement.
Ayer’s directorial credits include The Beekeeper, Suicide Squad, and End of Watch, showcasing his expertise in crafting action-packed thrillers. This expertise pairs well with Statham’s affinity for the genre, making A Working Man a promising collaboration.
In the trailer, Statham’s character is on a mission to find the daughter of a close friend, and we will stop at nothing to make it happen. Elements of human trafficking have also been added to the movie, adding more depth to the narrative. It will be interesting to witness how this movie pans out on the big screen!
