in praise of Jason Statham

[oldfatfool]

Love Statham, disagree though, PMT wore better suits.

I'm a big fan of silly action films that just entertain. (I'm also a big fan of impenetrable cerebral films that make you go "WTF?", like ∏)
Films like The Rock.

Statham is excellent in these, and does some decent fight scenes (that one in Transporter 1 when he's covered in engine oil is excellent).
Crank was a lot of fun, and even Crank 2 was half decent.

You should check out The One, with Jet Li - just for Statham's ridiculous accent.

Death Race was a competent remake.

The Expendables is worth a go too.

He recently remade The Mechanic (the original was a Charles Bronson vehicle) and it was OK.

He's in an upcoming film called Killer Elite. That's a Ronseal title if ever I heard one!

I like Jason Statham - Chuck Norris is the one I don't get.

FACT: No-one gets Chuck Norris - Chuck Norris gets you

Statham was very endearing in Blitz... for a hard british copper.
I like his stuff mostly.
