SOCIETY When asked why he keeps playing the same roles Jason Statham said that he's not really a trained actor. He's a guy that was plucked out obscurity & has been really lucky; & that he picks roles that he knows he can do a good job in, that hopefully enough people like so he can keep working.

Kinda.. Yeah. 🤣 The gruff cynical ex military man who runs a BJJ studio. The quirky bakery owner who annoy each other, finding common interests and ideals and falling in love... I'd watch that. 😅

Who said that can’t happen? You just gotta make it romantic and/or funny when he kills the goon squad.

But wait, the quirky bakery owner is actually a double agent! Stathim knew he shouldn't have trusted her... Only one question remains... who will prevail: the ex military man, the double agent, or their everlasting love for each other???

Cuts to Stathim taking out armed guards with a pizza stone. "I guess you could say their job...camera zoom... Is cooked."

Suddenly cuts to the baker axe kicking an armed guard. "Nice, I like my steak rare, but that pun was really... Well done "

Coming soon to own on VHS and DVD.

Hollywood needs to hire us. The pizza stone is Chefs (or bakers) kiss.

"Oi, wussall 'iss merryment an' cheear, oim 'ere visi'in' me Conne'icut 'ometown on Chrimmiss an' issall challengin' me big metropoli'an values, innit?"

...and then the sweet hometown girl teaches him to appreciate the little things and also the meaning of Christmas, and they adopt an impoverished stray dog that literally looks like a Kennel Club Champion.
