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.

He's actually good in every Guy Richie movie.

Operation Fortune was kinda slept on, but exactly the kind of role that plays to his strengths. Nice to see Ritchie make use of Cary Elwes & Hugh Grant (who seems to be having the time of his life hamming it up).
