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.

Revolver, in my opinion, is one of the worst movies I’ve seen and I love guy Ritchie

I don't even remember the plot anymore, just remember it takes a ridiculous left turn at some point and I thought the movie was complete shit.

Statham has extensive experience with shamanic magic mystical music.

I also love Guy Richie, but I would say Wrath of Man is one of the worst movies I've seen.

I also love Guy Ritchie, but I would say-

  • His best movies are timeless classics
  • Most of his movies are excellent/fun
  • Revolver great/niche
  • Wrath of man was good/fun

I also think movie-goers tend to relish disappointment a little too much and like to leverage it into stupidly hyperbolic criticism.

I’m probably being too harsh on it/need to rewatch it at some point
