A Working Man (2025) delivers a classic action thriller experience, led by Jason Statham in the role of Levon Cade, a former Royal Marine Commando who must rescue the daughter of his boss from a Russian human trafficking syndicate. Directed by David Ayer and co-written with Sylvester Stallone, the film takes viewers on a relentless journey through violence, vengeance, and tense confrontations with a brutal criminal organization. Statham shines in his usual action hero role, bringing intensity to every scene, while the supporting cast, including Michael Peña and David Harbour, help add depth to the story.
While the action is fierce and the stakes high, the film's pacing falters due to its length, which at times slows down the momentum. The plot is predictable, reminiscent of Taken (2008), but its straightforward narrative is elevated by its intense action sequences and Statham's commanding performance. Although it doesn't offer anything particularly new to the genre, A Working Man is an enjoyable throwback to '80s and '90s action films, delivering exactly what fans of the genre crave: tough, no-holds-barred action and a hero willing to take on impossible odds.
