Jason Statham remains a major figure in action cinema, though his latest movie is seeing middling results. Statham's name is nearly synonymous with action movies and the tough, gritty, and often violent characters he plays within them. The English actor's array of action movies includes the Transporter series, which solidified his status as an action star, followed by Crank, The Mechanic movies, The Meg movies, The Expendables series, and the Fast & Furious franchise, including its Hobbs & Shaw spinoff.
