Jason Statham is back in ‘action’ after Guy Ritchie’s “Wrath of Man,”  this time in director David Ayer’s (“Suicide Squad,” “Fury”) film scripted by veteran action film scenarist Kurt Wimmer. The screenplay is probably written with Statham in mind because it doesn’t have much dialogue emanating from him and the action set-pieces come at you in a swift and easy flow.

Statham is the kind of action star who has a deep presence and gets you totally riveted in the kind of stuff he does on screen. While the story is not much to write home about, it’s the action chops that keep you glued as they keep getting bolder and bigger as the vengeance spiel progresses to its ultimate culmination.
