How do you rank perfection? Duncan has a go, as he lists the top 25 Jason Statham films...
For regular Den Of Geek readers, it will come as little surprise to see this list come round. We've chosen our favourite Statham films before, but such is the productivity of the great man, it was decided that a mere top ten was no longer large enough to contain his ever growing body of work. Last time I mentioned updating this piece to the man himself back in 2012 due to his insane workload, he cracked up and responded, “My productivity is overwhelming! 'Have a fucking day off!'”
Since this list has now expanded to encompass 25 of his movies, it seemed only right to include multiple sequels, with his big trio of action franchises all spawning some thoroughly entertaining fare worthy of mention, though I’ve tried to exclude the personal bias that...

Movies are many different things to many different peoples. A film may tug at your heart strings, tickle your funny bone, or change the way you look at the world. But sometimes all you want from a movie is an adrenaline shot straight to the heart, a testosterone booster right to the balls, or whatever the female equivalent of getting really hyped up over an action film is. 2012 didn’t see the apocalypse, but it did see a bunch of cinematic ass-kickery, the best of which is counted down here for your pleasure. 12. Dredd 3D A comic book fixture for several decades, Judge Dredd returns to the big screen in a more accurate portrayal than he was originally given by Sylvester Stallone. Karl Urban actually drew a line in the sand to make sure his character never removed his helmet, like his namesake from the popular comics. Sure, there’s a core similarity shared with The Raid...

Ex-government agent Luke Wright (Jason Statham) cuts a bruising swathe through corrupt New York cops, vicious Chinese triads and psychopathic Russian mobsters in one night. They are all after one thing - 10-year-old maths prodigy Mei (Catherine Chan) - but only The Stath has her bests interests at heart. Bone-crunching rucks and whip-smart one liners distinguish this above average thriller with Statham never better as a morally-driven killing machine.

Action superstar Jason Statham teams up with director Boaz Yakin for Safe, which follows a beat up and broken down ex-cop as he protects a young girl from the Russians, Triads and corrupt cops. Safe might look like your average Statham B-movie on paper, but the result is actually an entertaining action flick that contains expertly shot action sequences and enough blood and violence to keep anyone entertained from start to finish.
Luke Wright (Jason Statham) used to be one of the finest New York City cops once upon a time, but something happened and he now participates in mixed martial arts fights in New Jersey. His former police partners have abandoned him and because of certain situations his wife was killed, leaving him with nothing and no one. He really doesn’t care about his life anymore and just when he’s about to end it all he finds a reason to continue living.

Chicago – Not to be confused with Todd Haynes’s 1995 masterpiece featuring Julianne Moore in the performance of her career, “Safe” is a forgettable would-be blockbuster that puts star Jason Statham through the emotional wringer in order to justify a marathon of repetitive carnage. This is as predictable a star vehicle as one could imagine, yet the direction by Boaz Yakin is so strong that it nearly saves the material.
A sense of palpable tension pervades all 92 minutes of this fast-paced thriller and doesn’t end after the final fade-out. It seems like everyone in New York is conspiring to take down the film’s two protagonists: a former detective (Statham) and a pint-sized Chinese prodigy (Catherine Chan) kidnapped by thugs intent on exploiting her extraordinary math skills. The first half-hour of the picture is so oppressively doom-laden that it leads the audience to cheer on the bloodletting once it finally arrives.

With hard-hitting action movie Safe debuting DVD and Blu-ray today courtesy of Momentum Pictures, we sat down with actor Jason Statham (or “The Stathe” as we like to call him) to discuss the film, working with director Boaz Yakin, working with Sly Stallone on The Expendables 2, and the possibility of Statham expanding his oeuvre…
How come you go for movies like this, like a British Clint Eastwood, where you seem to be shooting anybody with an accent?
Jason Statham: Ha! Hey, I’m doin’ what I’m doin’. And I’m chugging away. But you gotta be careful mentioning people as great as Clint Eastwood! You can’t put me in the same sentence as that man.
How do you get physically fit for action roles?
Js: You have to be in shape, because injuries happen far too often. And be as resilient as your body can be to those oncoming injuries.

In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship.

★★★☆☆ Jason Statham (aka 'the Stath') returns to the action fold with Safe (2012), a mostly by-the-numbers, yet surprisingly involving and dynamic thriller from writer/director Boaz Yakin. The film centres on Statham's Luke Wright, an ex-cop who, after stumbling upon a prized 12-year-old Chinese girl called Mei (Catherine Chan), finds himself caught up in a three-way gangland conflict. All the while, Wright begins slowly but surely falling into his old ways of life - one suffused with crime, violence and self-destruction.

Quadrophenia (Criterion) Franc Roddam’s 1979 film based on The Who’s classic rock opera tells the story of working class lad Jimmy (Phil Daniels) struggling to find his identity in a rapidly changing Britain, circa 1965. Jimmy is a “mod,” a youth movement dedicated to wearing snappy suits, driving Vespa motor scooters bedecked with side mirrors, popping amphetamines and obsessed with the new sound of bands like The Who and The Kinks. Their other pastime is engaging in bloody brawls with “rockers,” throwbacks to the 1950s, who listen to Elvis and Gene Vincent, wear leather biker gear, grease in their hair and drive massive motorcycles a la Marlon Brando in “The Wild One.” Often cited as a worthy successor to “Rebel Without a Cause” as the greatest angry youth picture ever made, it is that and more, including a first cousin to the “kitchen sink” dramas of scribes John Osborne,...

A list of words used to describe Jamie Oliver's restaurant specials has just been revealed on Twitter by Luke Wright. Basically, the list serves as catch-words servers should use when describing "fab specials" to restaurant-goers. However, the list hasn't been verified and it isn't clear which of Oliver's restaurants this list belongs to (perhaps all).
The list includes words like "dollop," "magic," "mega," "wicked," "squeeze," and "proper rustic." Check out the entire list below! ...

In every action hero’s career, there will come a time when they dip their toes in more dramatic waters in favour of ripping people’s throats out.
Van Damme did it with Nowhere to Run back in 1993, Stallone started as a dramatic actor before Rambo and then went back to the drama with Over the Top in 87 and Copland in 1997. Bruce Willis once he established himself in the genre with Die Hard couldn’t wait to get back to dramatic acting. So now we come to Jason Statham who after ten years of kicking arse has decided to unleash his inner turmoil, but Safe isn’t actually a drama, it’s an action movie through and through and although it’s a massively flawed movie it does give us Jason Statham’s best performance so far and with an American accent too!

An ex-cage fighter tries to help a girl on the run from gangsters who ruined his life.
Since Jason Statham movies have essentially become their own sub-genre, you should pretty much know what to expect from Safe. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing mind you, as the former athlete and all-round growly geezer is often capable of elevating straight-to-dvd material into watchable territory through sheer presence alone.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Depressing though it might be to action fans, there is only one truly bankable tough guy left who can prop up his own picture, and that man is Jason Statham. Thankfully, teaming with eclectic director Boaz Yakin – whose CV ranges from inspirational sports film (Remember the Titans) to cutesy comedy (Uptown Girls) – proved a wise choice, for Safe is one of The Stath’s more solidly entertaining vehicles for quite some time.
Shake the fact that the plot is shamelessly similar to Bruce Willis’ mediocre action thriller Mercury Rising, and there is plenty to enjoy here. Statham plays Luke Wright, a suicidal former NYPD cop who saves a 12-year old Chinese math whizz, Mei (Catherine Chan), whose gift for remembering numbers is being exploited to help the Triads’ bank roll. After rescuing her, Wright then has to fend off not only the Triads, but the Russian...

To celebrate the presence of Safe in UK cinemas, here’s an updated list of action hero Jason Statham’s very best films to date…
2011 was without doubt Jason Statham’s best year so far. He managed a grand total of four cinematic releases, though at one point that total was nearer six, until 13 seemed to vanish without a trace and Safe was sensibly pushed back to 2012, thus avoiding an overload of machismo greater than the average human could cope with.
As a result of his insane productivity, our long-standing list of his greatest movies so far needed an update, an event that will hopefully need to be done annually, as he continues to be one of the most productive actors working today.
Statham’s still sensibly chosen to concentrate on making action movies and thrillers all squarely aimed at an adult audience, providing a constant and much-needed fix for someone as bloodthirsty as me,...

British bulldog Jason Statham always manages to beguile you on screen with his seemingly boundless choreographed energy and corny one-line growls that have become his reliable trademarks. Without such qualities of seasoned action veterans like Schwarzenegger and Stallone in their heyday, the Statham flick would be dead in the water, like an action flick of a bygone era.
Paradoxically, there is also a very fresh and contemporary feel to a Statham film too, in its video-gaming context that combines style and a breakneck editing pace that often defies reality. Writer-director Boaz Yakin’s Safe is in this category, as The Transformer energy is unleashed on the Big Apple, it keeps you gunning for Statham from beginning to end, however farcical and far-fetched the bits are in between, and comical his ‘American’ accent gets.

Jason Statham returns with his usual great blend of action-thriller in Safe, due out in UK cinemas this weekend.
Statham has been brilliant in turning his tough-guy image into a career built on no-nonsense characters who do whatever they have to to get the job done, and it looks like Safe will be another in that vein.
A new action-packed clip has surfaced online, courtesy of Yahoo Movies, to give you an idea of what to expect.
“A second-rate cage fighter on the mixed martial arts circuit, Luke Wright lives a numbing life of routine beatings and chump change… until the day he blows a rigged fight. Wanting to make an example of him, the Russian Mafia murders his family and banishes him from his life forever, leaving Luke to wander the streets of New York destitute, haunted by guilt, and tormented by the knowledge that he will always be watched,...

New 'Safe' movie delivered great hardcore action,violence,drama & more. Lionsgate released their new extreme action flick "Safe" into theaters this weekend.

Sadly, they went with that terrible title. A movie with the flimsiest of plots that takes the most basic of turns needs something extra to keep eyeballs firmly on the big screen. It's a good thing Jason Statham doesn't need much story to deliver convincing punches and deadly knees to the face. It's all him at work in Safe, the latest film written and directed by Boaz Yakin. The filmmaker relies on one element to keep his film this engrossing, hard-hitting action and Statham at the center of all of it. The action works in Safe, little else does, and, when the credits roll, that's all that matters. It's hard to remember plot holes when you've just had your ass kicked, especially by Jason Statham. Safe doesn't necessarily do that, but it comes damn close. Statham plays Luke Wright, an ex-cop now turned cage fighter who might be nearing the...

Crime drama was not a genre that interested me until Luc Besson's 1994 Leon: The Professional, when I was lured in by the development of the quasi-paternal relationship of killer Leon and young girl Mathilda. Their relationship added another dimension to this genre for me, and since then I'm more inclined to view these often ultra-violent films that I might have previously avoided.
Reminiscent of The Professional, the crime thriller Safe opens in theaters this weekend and stars Jason Statham as Luke Wright, an ex-cage fighter with a mysterious past. Admittedly, all it takes to pique my interest in an action movie nowadays is the name Jason Statham thanks to his beefy role in the Transporter franchise.
However, within the first few scenes it is obvious that there are two stars of this film -- Catherine Chan in her feature debut as Mei has as much if not more screen time than Statham.

Jason Statham is not to be trifled with. Though if you only saw the first 20 minutes of Boaz Yakin’s “Safe”, you may think that last statement is a tad of an over-estimation of the man. Let me assure you — it’s not. Statham is a whirlwind of violence and sheer bone-breaking badassery as Luke Wright, an ex-cop turned cage fighter turned homeless bum. The reasons for our man’s fall from grace in “Safe” are many, including the death of his wife and unborn child at the hands of the Russian mob, the price of failing to take a dive during a fight. Besides not only not taking that dive, our hero actually puts his competition in a coma. So, you know, that’s like double the insult to the guy paying him to take the dive and whatnot. Things look up for Luke when he runs across 11-year...

Safe
Starring Jason Statham, Catherine Chan, Chris Sarandon
Directed by Boaz Yakin
Rated R
It's sad when I go into an action film starring Jason Statham that I automatically have extremely low expectations. The guy can act, just see any British film he's done (Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Mean Machine, etc.), so I know he has some talent. That aside, I also think he has a knack for action, and rather enjoyed the Crank films (mindless, nonstop action can be quite the guilty pleasure).
So what I don't get is, why do you attempt to muddy the waters with a weak plot, sad dialogue that feels it has to explain everything (aside from some good one-liners), and basically rip off the plot from The Man From Nowhere? If you're going to go for action with Jason Statham, just let the man kick ass for 90 minutes, forget the plot.

There’s no better way to sum up Jason Statham’s latest actioner Safe than by stealing the advertising slogan from a well-known British fence-staining brand and tell you that ‘it does exactly what it says on the tin’
When cage fighter Luke Wright (Statham) falls foul of some Russian gangsters by not throwing a match, his path becomes inextricably linked with that of a young Chinese girl, who happens to hold in her head the combination code to the titular Safe. What follows next is a total convoluted mess of a plot involving Chinese Triads, corrupt Cops and more Russian Gangsters and via the jet fumes of Statham’s charm alone, he manages to turn this from something that’s so bad, it’s sort of good, in a really bad way…

There are moments of bliss in Safe. A subway-set brawl, save for the shoddy visual-effects rendering required when Jason Statham‘s Luke Wright is forced to climb aboard the fleeting train, comes to mind for its giddy acceptance of the film’s one true right to existence: the sheer joy of watching Statham pummel some mobsters to a pulp and spout off a host of hammy one-liners while doing so. Seriously, with all the redundant drivel that’s out there, you could do a whole lot worse than basking in the humorous delight of Statham’s no-nonsense intensity.
Problem is, Boaz Yakin, the film’s writer-director, appears to be doing everything in his power to keep these instances of Statham mayhem as few and far between as possible. He infuses the story with a second main character, 12-year-old Mei (Catherine Chan), which would be less of an obstacle if the...

The de-evolution of the modern b-action movie is disheartening. The genre has been bisected by traditionalists and new-school practitioners. The old-school, red meat types like Sylvester Stallone and their ilk believe that real men doing real stunts and delivering brutal blows is the way to go, big tough guys in big tough situations, without any youngbloods or fancy gizmos. The more contemporary action filmmaker, however, spikes the punch, utilizing heavy-duty CGI to turn Tobey Maguire into Dolph Lundgren, Cameron Diaz into Jackie Chan. Neither side seems to understand that you don't need to be Dostoyevsky to infuse the same old tropes with just a little respect for characters, stories, suspense, and high stakes. It's the story, stupid. Believe in it.
Writer-director Boaz Yakin ("Remember The Titans") believes, which is why his latest picture, the old-school-baiting "Safe," knows exactly where that pleasure center lies. The finest of the generic output of action stud Jason Statham,...

Title: Safe Lionsgate Director: Boaz Yakin Screenwriter: Boaz Yakin Cast: Jason Statham, Catherine Chin, Chris Sarandon, Anson Mount Screened at: Dolby24, NYC, 4/17/12 Opens: April 27, 2012 Boaz Yakin might have us believe that “Safe” is the story of a man’s redemption, a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie with enough action to appeal to the computer-game set. However, “Safe” is nothing more than a big shooting gallery presentation with an overlay of sentiment designed to give it an arthouse flavor. The story is terminally absurd, particularly a scene in which major action star Jason Statham in the role of Luke Wright almost single-handedly takes out half of New York’s Chinatown [ Read More ]...

It’s a Jason Statham film. It’s called Safe. And it’s written and directed by Boaz Yakin, the brains [cough] behind such Shakespearean gems as Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Gee, I wonder where this film could possibly be going.
You may think that’s a facetious critique to level at an action film, but I mention it because the film belabours the very existence of a safe and Statham’s cracking of it to an absurdly irritating degree. It also delays Statham cracking some skulls, which is frankly a crime against casting.
Oh sure, we’re introduced to his character, Luke Wright, shirt-off in a boxing ring, but the killer punch that lands his opponent in hospital occurs off-screen. It transpires that, like so many screen boxers before him – Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction, Brad Pitt in Snatch etc. – he was meant to throw the fight,...

Jason Statham returns for yet another action movie, and this one may well be his best yet. Here’s Duncan’s review of the mighty Safe…
It’s amazing what a physiological effect a film can have on me sometimes. Despite the high expectations I had of Safe after the thoroughly entertaining trailer, mixed with my ardent love of Jason Statham, I was exhausted when I went to the screening. So tired in fact, that when I spoke to a friend of mine just before the film started I was barely able to string two words together, even using the word ‘magical’ to describe my hopes for Safe.
Now, I’ve used many superlatives to describe the films of our man Statham over the years, but ‘magical’ isn’t a logical fit. Regardless, by the time Safe had finished, I was running high on adrenaline and in a state of absolute joy,...

Jason Statham and a legion of bad guys opposing him always leads to a pretty good time if you’re in the mood for some knuckle-to-mouth action, and Statham (The Stath to his closest associates) certainly excels at providing just that. I expect “Safe”, the latest from Statham and director Boaz Yakin (“Remember the Titans”) to bring the goods, and from everything I’ve seen, it shouldn’t disappoint those who knows what they’re getting going in. Statham and company were in NYC last night for the premiere of “Safe”, the pics from said event you can find below.

Oh, Jason, didn’t you learn in the first “Transporter” movie? Chinese girls are always trouble, man. Always.
