  • Safe

    Movie Review | Rob | 1st May 2012

    An entire week passed between me watching Jason Statham's newest addition to his one-man sub-genre and writing up this review. No matter though, because Safe fits nicely into The Stath's typical movie mould. It has guns, punching, car chases, a suit and another odd Cockney/American hybrid accent. Hell, I could've copied and pasted my Transporter 3 review, changed around a few words and no one would've been any the wiser.

  • Films on TV round-up: Stallone gets fat, Statham gets EVEN

    TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 19th February 2012

    To think that these two guys will share the same screen for the second time this year. How does one frame manage to cram in that much masculinity? Even in IMAX.

  • Saturday smackdown: Killer Elite 2011 vs The Killer Elite 1975

    Movie Feature | Luke | 25th June 2011

    Kick! Punch! It's all in the mind! Renowned Prince of Subtlety Jason Statham will be exploding all over cinemas this September, in Killer Elite. But it's not the first time the title has seen used, with Sam Peckinpah beating him to it by over 35 years. So which film is the most elitist? There's only one way to find out... fiiiight!

  • The Mechanic

    Movie Review | Rob | 2nd February 2011

    Who wants to play a game? It's called 'I Spy... A Stath Cliche'. It's easy and can be played during any Jason Statham movie. Stath takes his shirt off: check. Stath has sex:check. Stath does that stone-faced scowl: got it! Stath has gun fights and remorseless punch-ups: tick! Finally, Stath blows some shit up: check and check. There's no need to get your Transporter box-set out, because you can try it with The Mechanic - the latest addition to Jason Statham's one-man army sub-genre.

  • The Expendables

    Movie Review | Ali | 15th August 2010

    The danger of 'event movies' is often that the event becomes more important than the actual movie. In some cases, the finished film can almost become surplus to requirement. Remember Snakes On A Plane? We all chuckled at the title and bought into the cheesiness of it, yet only six people saw it at the cinema, and only three of them actually liked it. And one of them was me.

  • New Expendables trailer is taking names; kicking of ass to come later

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 4th June 2010

    The new trailer for The Expendables is basically just a list of the entire cast. But when your cast has this many badasses per square inch, I'd say it's entirely appropriate.

  • The Expendables trailer: let's play spot the cliche with Sly!

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 31st March 2010

    Stallone! Schwarzenegger! Willis! Statham! Explosions! Testosterone! Exclamation marks!!!!

  • Transporter 3

    Movie Review | Rob | 11th December 2008

    The Transporter series can be summed up pretty easily. Jason Statham, a glorified courier in a suit, drives about delivering various unmentionable items. He gets in a few scraps, he has a couple of car chases, he takes his shirt off on more than one occasion, deals with some uninspiring cock-tease and Audi sell a few more cars. ...

  • Death Race

    Movie Review | Rob | 30th September 2008

    It wouldn't be fair to compare this modernised carmageddon to the 1975 movie that bares the same name. Sure, the film shares the same basic premise and the occasional character name, but they're different animals. While Paul Bartel's '70s exploitation road movie had David Carradine and a young Sly Stallone hauling ass across Ame...
