‘A Working Man’ Review: Jason Statham Battles Russian Mob In Familiar Violent Action Vehicle
A review of 'A Working Man' with Jason Statham as ex-soldier on hunt for the daughter of a friend who has been sold into a sex trafficking operation
Storywise Cade is enlisted to help one of his co-workers, Joe Garcia ( Michael Pena) and his wife Carla (Noemi Gonzalez) who are distraught after their scrappy daughter Jenny ( Arianna Rivas) has been snatched by the Russian mob and sold into their sex trafficking operation. Levon must pose as a drug dealer and infiltrate himself into this Chicago underworld populated by numerous stereotypical Russian Mafia types led by crime lord Wolo Kolisnyk ( Jason Flemyng), and featuring his loose cannon son Dimi (Maximilian Osinski). Ayer has made a bunch of films I really liked, particularly the cop drama End Of Watch which had a better role for Pena opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, and Brad Pitt’s WW2 tank epic, Fury.
