I was wondering what you guys think of Jason Statham? I've seen a number of his movies, and have been impressed. What are your thoughts on him(his movies, future, and tough guy persona).

I like Statham a lot, but not necessarily his movies. The first "Transporter" was a surprisingly enjoyable action flick despite moments of goofiness. Would like to see him settle into more serious fare as he's really got the urban tough guy thing down. Even though he has the moves, I'd like to see him tone down the martial arts and use only a little bit per film to make it more effective. He'd be excellent in something like Michael Caine in GET CARTER (although Stallone did that a few years back).

As you guys know, I'm a big fan of Jason Statham, the Crank movies are great. I'm not a huge fan of Transporter but pretty much all his movies are enjoyable, If you want to see him in a serious role watch the movie Revolver. BTW as much and I like Statham this makes me very angry: www.imdb.com/title/tt0472399/ |

I do agree about his transporter sequels getting alittle bit over the top, with the fight scenes, thats why I like his non martial arts action fare(Death race, crank 1&2).
