I'm really sad I missed this in theaters. All I want is to see Jason Statham beating people up and I mean that sincerely. Fantastic review, I giggled the whole way through

Other serious questions..

Was it as good as The Bee Keeper?

How was A Working Man not a secret Bee Keeper sequel??? Missed opportunity.

And when is Statham gonna make an End of Days remake so we get Statham vs Satan??

Talk amongst yourselves…

Movies are not math equations, but if they were, Working Man would exactly be 60% of The Beekeeper.

Also, we need to start recognizing Statham on the Action Mt. Rushmore. At this point, Statham v. Satan isn't a fair fight. Beelzebub maybe had his best chance right after Transporter 3.

I double checked your math and 60% checks out with my team at MIT.

Okay B, for my personal favorites I’m going Kurt Russell, Arnold, Keanu Reeves, Chow Yun Fat or JCVD

Most influential..

60’s-Bruce Lee

70’s-Clint Eastwood

80’s Arnold

90’s-Keanu/Statham

Those are some solid action movie mountain friezes! Chow Yun Fat is a particularly awesome choice

Thanks B! Yours too.

I guess @Decarceration doesn’t love action movies enough to have an opinion on a action star Mount Rushmore. Makes me sad. I wish he loved action movies too.

How DARE you!

Jackie Chan, Clint, Arnold, Michelle Yeoh. But we need to rebuild Rushmore to have more faces. Sammo Hung would be a fifth.

Not kidding, B. This is your best write up yet tied with Gentlemen Broncos.

The biggest compliment I can give you is you tricked me at first and then made me laugh out loud. That’s hard to make me do.

It’s really cool following you these last 5 months and seeing you up your game.

Very welcome! You and Emma and Decarceration were some of the first ppl here to give my stuff a chance and I will always appreciate it.

Word on the street is Fly 2 might be droppin before the weekend. I’m trying to get it just right. Critters 2 is a bit easier to push out as it kinda is what it is but these Fly movies got a little more depth to get right. Makes me slower. Not that anyone cares lol.
