The Dark Knight / Avengers (2013)

I guess it’s kind of weird that nobody started a thread for this yet. I put a double title in there just so it's easier to find since it's listed as Hummingbird in some places, Redemption in others, and apparently even Crazy Joe elsewhere.

It's basically Jason Statham in another action flick filled with endless punching and kicking. You'd probably assume that's the case for pretty much any Jason movie, especially since it pulled a score close to a 7, which is about what most Statham movies get.
But, maybe this one is actually different. I won't drop any spoilers, but I'll just say it feels more like a drama and focuses way more on Statham's character than just mindless violence.

It's definitely worth a watch; I was honestly surprised by this kind of role from him. Though, I guess that might just be me talking because I'm such a huge Statham fan. Even if the cast isn't massive, Agata Buzek is incredibly good in her supporting role. 🙂

Anyway, check out Statham in a movie that leans more toward drama than pure action. It really worked for me, and it's easily one of my favorites from this summer (which hasn't been exactly packed with hits).

8.5/10 (probably a bit overhyped, but like I said, being a fan of Jason, I can't help myself 😁 )

I’m totally with you there; it’s such a fantastic movie, and the way they handle his transformation—without me giving too much away here—is just masterfully done, plus Statham really proves he has the range to deliver a serious performance when he needs to 👍

I’d definitely recommend checking it out!
7.5/10

It’s a solid flick. Jason really gives it his all, and like you said, there's way more drama here than in his usual stuff, though the action scenes are still totally badass.

For me, the best part was definitely that sexual tension between him and the honorable lady.

Terry Morris41 said:The movie is decent, you can tell Jason Bourne is really putting in the work here, and just like you mentioned, there's a much heavier emphasis on the drama compared to his usual high-octane stuff, though it still manages to pack in those badass action sequences

For me, the absolute highlight of the whole thing was that underlying sexual tension between him and the officer

And, honestly, I didn't think I'd ever be able to get this thought out clearly, but: That officer just isn't my type.
