Jason Statham is now officially the new Sylvester Stallone

The last sentence spoken in In working man It's "Welcome home." Surely, some viewers will feel the therapeutic warmth of these words, especially if they're somewhat disoriented in the fluidity of the contemporary world. This is because we're dealing with a film that not only aims to offer familiarity (that of the codes of the action genre as they were burned and testosterone-fueled in the 1980s), but also absolute certainties, such as that if someone looks bad, they dress like one (we must applaud the costumes with their choir-like voices). necessarily It will have to be bad.

Also, although no one likes violence, sometimes you have to break some skulls. For example, when some criminals kidnap the daughter of the businessmen who have taken you in when no one would give you a chance, which is the situation that Jason Statham's character finds himself in in the film, where he meets with director David Ayer a year after the success of Beekeeper: The protector and, above all, with Sylvester Stallone, producer and co-writer, who points to him as his sole heir. The efforts ofIn working man to create a comfort zone for the fan of the stomached may seem routine, but this critic admits to feeling respect for Ayer's ability to confront with conviction a thunderous material that, at first glance, would only seem possible to conjugate through irony or, directly, through parody.
