A Working Man

2025 Amazon MGM Studios

Rated: R

Length: 1 hr 56min

Action ~ Thriller

Starring: Jason Statham, Michael Peña, Jason Flemyng and David Harbour.

HUMAN TRAFFICKERS BEWARE!

Jason Statham stars as Levon Cade, a construction foreman on a big commercial job in Chicago, Illinois. He works for Joe Garcia, his wife and their daughter Jenny. As the movie opens we see Levon waking up in his truck and getting out and unlocking the gates to the construction site. As the men come in to start their shift Levon gives them a morning pep talk before they all go to work. Shortly thereafter a group of men pull up in a pick up truck, get out and start to harass and beat on one of Levon’s workers. Levon grabs a metal bucket full of nails and just like that, Jason Statham is back in action. A construction site battle ensues and Jason proceeds to kick all their butts and sends them packing……

Jenny sees the fight and has a conversation with Levon about it. Levon promises Jenny that he will always have her back, no matter what, if she needs anything, gets into any trouble to let him know…….

That night Jenny goes out on the town to celebrate her first semester of school being over with some friends. While in the bar and helping one of her drunk friends get to the bathroom, Jenny is abducted. Her parents contact the police and Joe asks Levon for his help, knowing that he is ex special ops. At first Levon refuses saying, he’s a changed man……

But Levon’s promise to Jenny to always have her back starts to eat away at him and he decides that he must go find Jenny and bring her home…….

And that’s where the fun begins! Levon goes to work doing what he does best. He has a mission and won’t stop until the objective is achieved, no matter the human cost…….

I am a Jason Statham fan and this is another good one. It is based upon the book Levon’s Trade: A Vigilante Justice Thriller (Levon Cade) by Chuck Dixon December 8, 2021. The movie was produced and directed by David Ayer, who also produced The Beekeeper starring Jason Statham. Jason and Sylvester Stallone also Co-produced the movie. Just like in The Beekeeper, Jason plays an ex special ops guy who goes after the bad guys to right his world. It is a Jason Statham formula that works every single time.

Once again Jason Statham does not disappoint, It was everything I expected. There is A Working Man 2 sequel in development as we speak. I have to say I am already looking forward to it. I just wonder who is going to get Jason’s wrath next………
