Jason Statham is back with yet another mid-budget action thriller, this time he’s again teaming up with his ‘The Beekeeper’ director David Ayer. Ayer is, of course, most famous for the Suicide Squad debacle that occurred back in 2016. The Beekeeper, as most Jason Statham films, definitely garnered a solid box office return which is why the two were quick to pair up again but I seemed to be in the minority because I didn’t like it very much. And I am by no means a cinema snob who can’t enjoy B-movies like this; I check out almost all of Statham’s action movies because I find him to be a very entertaining movie star. So, is A Working Man an improvement on The Beekeeper in my book, or should these two stay after from each other in future endeavors? Find out in this review!
