A collection of six action movies starring British actor Jason
Statham.
'The Expendables' (2010), directed by Sylvester Stallone, boasts
an ensemble cast of action stalwarts including Stallone, Statham,
Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Terry Crews
and Mickey Rourke. The film, which follows a group of
professional killers as they join forces to bring down a South
American dictator, also boasts cameo appearances from Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis, and sees Stallone and
Schwarzenegger sharing a screen for the first time ever.
In 'Blitz' (2011), based on the novel by Ken Bruen, a serial
killer is on the loose in London, targeting the members of an
already beleaguered force. Tough, phobic, plain
clothes copper Brant (Statham) is assigned to the case along with
his openly gay partner, Porter Nash (Paddy Considine). As the
uniformed body count rises and pressure s from all sides, a
deadly game of wits plays out between Brant and his quarry,
neither of whom are willing to lose without a brutal fight.
'The Bank Job' (2008) is based on the true story of a 1971 London
bank robbery that baffled the authorities and captivated the
public. Statham stars as Terry Leather, a former crooked car
salesman who wants to put his shady past behind him and start a
family. But when Terry's old neighbor, Martine Love (Saffron
Burrows), proposes a foolproof plan to rob a Baker Street bank,
Terry reluctantly agrees to come on board. As the operation gets
underway, the resourceful group of thieves tunnel their way into
a safe-deposit vault at the Lloyds Bank in Maryle where they
discover millions of pounds worth of cash and priceless gems.
However, Terry and his crew don't realize the boxes also contain
a treasure trove of dirty secrets that will thrust them into a
deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal that spans London's
criminal underworld, the British government, and even the Royal
Family.
In 'War' (2007), after his partner is brutally murdered by the
infamous assassin, Rogue (Jet Li), FBI agent Jack Crawford
(Statham) vows to find the elusive killer and personally avenge
his partner's death. But Rogue proves untraceable until three
years later when he resurfaces to ignite a bloody turf war
between Chinese mob leader Chang (John Lone) and Japanese Yakuza
boss Shiro (Ryo Ishibashi). Eager to capture Rogue once and for
all, Crawford leads his team of crime spets headlong into
the conflict. But Crawford's thirst for vengeance jeopardizes his
professional judgement, and, as the violence escalates, he
finally comes face to face with his enemy only to discover that
nothing about Rogue or his plan is quite what it seems.
'Chaos' (2005) follows two cops on the trail of a criminal
mastermind. Forced to team up with new rookie partner Shane
Dekker (Ryan Phillippe) when a shooting goes badly wrong, veteran
detective Quentin Connors (Statham) has to grin and bear it. But
they soon have to forget about personality clashes when arch
criminal Lorenz (Wesley Snipes) and his gang steal over one
billion dollars in a bank heist. A game of cat and mouse soon
develops, with the cops baffled as to how 'Mr Big' seems to know
their every move. Finally, in Guy Ritchie's 'Revolver' (2005),
Jake Green (Statham) is a hot gambler, long on audacity and
short on common sense. He's rarely allowed to play in any casino
these days because he's dangerous - he's a winner. One night Jake
and his two older brothers, Billy (Andrew Howard) and Joe
(Stephen Walters), are invited to sit in on a private game; a
game that is fixed for Jake to lose to Macha (Ray Liotta), a top
dog crime boss and casino owner who can't play for squat, but
always wins because you just aren't allowed to lose to him. But
Jake isn't afraid of Macha and not only beats him in a quick game
of chance, but also takes every possible rtunity to throw
insults. As Jake and his brothers leave the game, Macha puts out
the order for a hit on Jake. However, a twist of e gets Jake
working for a pair of brothers, who just happen to have their own
agenda for Macha.
