Even though mid-budget action movies are being diverted from theaters to streaming, much like romantic comedies before them, certain stars are refusing to relent. Jason Statham’s movies are hugely popular on home video, as can be seen by the performance of his latest release, Shelter. But he still hasn’t headlined a streaming original. It’s the same case with Gerard Butler, who continues to deliver theatrical releases, although his audience has slowly changed its viewing patterns. Both Statham and Butler are coming off box-office misfires this year, and interestingly, their two latest releases were helmed by the same filmmaker: Ric Roman Waugh. While their fans wait for them to bounce back, they can revisit one of Butler’s best-regarded recent movies on Netflix before it is removed from the platform.
