I once made the mistake of watching it as part of a beer and pizza night and after several imbibes had no clue what was going on. find themselves stuck in the middle of a gang war between the Triads and Yakuza.

Waris also so full of double crosses and betrayals, that anything less than full attention will leave you struggling to keep up, as the F.B.I.

War is a surprising film in several respects, choosing to prioritise its twisting, turning plot over and above the action, which is relatively minimal for a film that stars both Statham and Jet Li. While his productivity is normally so high that he has a multitude of movies lined up in any one year (some years ago I mentioned updating this piece to the man himself due to his insane workload, he cracked up and responded, “My productivity is overwhelming! ‘Have a fucking day off!’”) I think we’ll allow him 2017 to take a well-deserved break, with Mechanic: Resurrectionhis only film out this year. Wild Card might not have taken a lot of money, but it at least allowed Statham to release another of his more independent-minded movies and made for a fine blend of action and black comedy. Likewise Spy added another string to his bow, allowing self-parody in the most glorious way. Thankfully last year proved to be his most successful to date, certainly from a box office perspective, as he finally returned to the big screen as an out and out villain for the first time since Cellular, in the Fast & Furious mega-franchise, with his turn in Fast 7. Well, we’ve upgraded our list of the mighty Statham’s finest movies, though it saddens me to say that in the years since this article’s first inception, we are still without a third Crank film, which the world needs now more than ever I’m sure you’ll agree.
