Still of Jason Statham in Crank superimposed over MPA's R rating
Jason Statham has proven to be one of the most iconic action stars of his generation, and one of the few that is able to sell new films based solely on his involvement. There isn’t a huge market for Chris Hemsworth’s films outside of the Thor franchise, and Dwayne Johnson has starred in a lot of critical duds. While Statham has popped up in a number of franchises and sequels, he’s also one of the few actors that seems to be genuinely interested in original projects.

7 ‘Opération Fortune: Ruse de Guerre’ Directed by Guy Ritchie Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is a delightful crime caper that mixed in some old-fashioned heist movie shenanigans with some subtle satire aimed at the ridiculous nature of celebrity culture. Statham, Aubrey Plaza, and Cary Elwes star as a group of secret agents that must infiltrate the inner circle of a dangerous wealthy man by scoring him a meeting with his favorite actor .
Statham does a great job at showing the complexities of a grieving man who is motivated to take out those responsible for the tragedy in the most brutal ways possible. The non-linear structure that Ritchie utilizes for the film keeps the audience on the edge of their seats, as new information revealed about the past forces them to examine subsequent developments from an entirely different perspective.
The Beekeeper goes over-the-top with its R-Rated violence, but the central conceit is so goofy that it feels obvious that both Ayer and Statham are in on the joke. Considering that The Beekeeper has proven to be one of the few original films that has performed well at the box office in 2024, it seems likely that there will be several sequels that allow Statham to reprise his role.
Crank is proof that Statham knows what he is doing, as there are several instances in which the characters have to laugh at the inherent ridiculousness of the situation. Although there are some films that Statham has starred in that could be classified as “guilty pleasures,” Crank is something where it was very clear that he was in on the joke for the entire time.
Crank 2: High voltage has a signature nasty sense of humor, but it also gave Statham the opportunity to show his merits as a romantic lead due to his excellent chemistry with Amy Ryan. Should there ever be interest in making a third film in the franchise, it would have to work very hard to come up with any mayhem that is more over-the-top than what is featured in Crank 2: High Voltage.
