David Ayer, director of Suicide Squadreunites with Jason Statham after The Beekeeper for a new action film: A Working Man.
Let’s be honest, David Ayer has never been the cinema auteur that people have made him out to be. Certainly, the scenario of Training Day knew how to impress in his time, and we will save from his filmography the punchy propositions that were End of Watch et Fury. The charcuterie in order of its Suicide Squad by Warner may have left doubt, but here too, we must face the facts: a nugget was never hidden in this shameful muck.
While Bright et The Tax Collector had the merit of driving the point home in the field of nanar, David Ayer seems to have embraced his true passion: the nag actioner who smells under the armpits, almost proud of his low forehead thinking and his cracking knees. The director has obviously found in Jason Statham his perfect alter-ego of sandbox guy coming to distribute mandals and justice in this rotten world. After The Beekeeperthe duo joins forces with Amazon and MGM to A Working Mandont the first trailer has just been revealed.
Jason the Builder
Always close to the people, Statham this time plays Levon Cade, a man who works in construction after a troubled past in the Marines (obviously). When his nice boss’s daughter is kidnapped, he sets out to find her, and should single-handedly thwart an entire human trafficking networkwhich includes even government scoundrels.
As in the heyday of Mozinor, we wonder if A Working Man did not use Luc Besson’s random scenario generator, as the project seems to re-pump the high-sounding codes of Taken-like. We laugh, but it is important to note that the feature film is not only the adaptation of a novel by Chuck Dixon, and that the screenplay is co-written by Sylvester Stallone (already working on another film with Jason Statham, Homefront).
It is this news that gives a little hope as to the regressive fun that could provide A Working Maneven if the trailer, little helped by frankly ugly photography, leaves something to be desired. In the United States, the film is scheduled to hit theaters on March 28. In France, no release date has been confirmed, and it is likely that as The Beekeeperthe new David Ayer goes directly through the VOD and streaming box.
