7 sourcesSynopsis
Levon Cade left behind a decorated military career in the black ops to live a simple life working construction. But when his boss's daughter, who is like family to him, is taken by human traffickers, his search to bring her home uncovers a world of corruption far greater than he ever could have imagined.
Critics consensus
An efficient action flick that delivers on the meat and potatoes of a Jason Statham vehicle while skimping out on the personality, A Working Man clocks in and out without much fuss or flair.
Audience consensus
The Stath stoically and reliably delivers high-octane action in A Working Man, a bang bang shoot’ em up that pairs perfectly with hot, buttery popcorn.
What resonated with audiences
'A Working Man' is a typical action film with Jason Statham's signature style, featuring intense action sequences and a predictable plot. Common themes include redemption, justice, and the struggle against human trafficking. Criticisms focus on the film's reliance on clichés, lack of originality, and weak supporting characters. Some reviewers appreciate Statham's performance and the action scenes, while others find the movie formulaic and uninspired. The film's pacing, runtime, and script are frequently cited as areas needing improvement. Overall, 'A Working Man' is seen as an entertaining but unoriginal action flick.
