Prime Video’s new action-thriller movie comes from director David Ayer and sees Jason Statham play a former special forces operative dragged into conflict with a criminal force to protect the innocent in our society. No, I’m not talking about last year’s “The Beekeeper,” which held the No. spot in the platform’s top 10 most-watched list for several weeks. Instead, this new movie from Amazon MGM Studios is called “A Working Man.”
Anybody who watched “The Beekeeper” is bound to feel a strong sense of deja vu, but considering that bee-pun-laden action-thriller was a total blast, maybe that’s not such a bad thing. Unfortunately, “A Working Man” has deeper flaws than its precursor, but if you want to see Jason Statham beat the snot out of some faceless goons in bombastic fashion, then you can’t go too far wrong with this one, especially now that it’s on Prime Video.
