Film Review - A Working Man (2025)

A Working Man is the new Jason Statham movie and here he plays Leven, a former UK Royal Marine working as a construction site supervisor or the Garcias (Michael Pena, Noemi Gonzalez and Arianna Rivas) but one night after a party the daughter Jenny is kidnapped and so Leven must use his former set of skills to save her.

A Working Man is one of those movies that does exactly what it says on the box in the video shop, the Stath is a retired serviceman working a normal life when circumstances force him to rip open the shirt and embrace his former life to do what he has to do and like last year’s the Beekeeper (also directed by David Ayer who directed this movie) it is a lot of fun, the Stath does what the Stath does as usual and it is good fun to see.

The action here is also good to watch as well and there’s plenty of hand to hand combat, knife slashings and gun fights and mysterious gangsters as well and all of it put a smile on my face and gave me a good time.

I also enjoyed Arianna Rivas as the daughter as well, she isn’t like Maggie Smith in Taken from 2009 where she sits around and does little except to wait to be saved, she feels more proactive and has a memorable moment or two of her own.

And so that was A Working Man and look if you’re a fan of the Stath your going to go and see this and if your not a fan of the Stath you won’t but for fans like me I had a good time, 3 and a half out of 5.
