Best Jason Statham Movie Ever? This Cop Comedy Scores 4.2/5!

Following roles in “The Transporter,” “Homefront,” “Wrath of Man,” and “A Working Man,” the British star leads in “Mutiny,” a new action thriller directed by French filmmaker Jean-François Richet. In the film, Jason Statham plays a man wrongly accused and on the run, who must fight to survive against a menacing organization.

His Top-rated Film

Jason Statham has carved a niche for himself in action films, known for his role as Frank Martin in the first three “Transporter” movies, as well as his work with Sylvester Stallone in “The Expendables” series, the “Fast and Furious” saga, and films directed by Guy Ritchie.

In 2000, he starred in “Snatch,” a film in the same vein as Ritchie’s debut “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” featuring some of the same cast (Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, Alan Ford, and Jason Flemyng). The film intertwines two plots: one about a stolen diamond that various parties want to claim, and the other about a small-time boxing promoter entangled with a London mob boss. Brad Pitt, attracted by Ritchie’s previous film, joins the ensemble.

With over 48,200 ratings and nearly 1,200 reviews on AlloCiné, “Snatch” scores an average rating of 4.2 out of 5, making it the highest-rated film in the actor’s portfolio.

Viewer Opinions

Kill-Jay (5/5): “What can I say? Phenomenal film, completely insane… An absolutely brilliant cast, Brad Pitt and Jason Statham are excellent. Pure joy! Thanks to Guy Ritchie.“

Eric C. from the AlloCiné Club (5/5): “Crazy, hilarious, fast-paced, wild and wacky as can be, one of the best crime comedies ever made, with multiple intersecting, colliding, tangled stories, each leaving a trail of bodies. A host of characters, each significant and unique, cinematic faces with a healthy dose of satire. Stellar performances with a genius cast and a succession of iconic scenes and dialogue, particularly a Brad Pitt delivering laugh-out-loud antics. An action-packed, super-fast film that shoots and slices in every direction, a film you wish would never end, a punchy, effective, irresistible comedy. A masterpiece, a true gem.“

Biloba63 (5/5): “Iconic. Everything is perfect: colorful, strong characters, a pleasant and tumultuous plot, British humor that always hits the mark, sharp dialogues, scenes and quotes to remember. Not to mention the soundtrack, arguably the richest I’ve ever heard. No excuse for not seeing this film!“

Ned123 from the AlloCiné Club (5/5): “I saw a film… like I seldom had before. Kudos to Guy Ritchie for this massive hit… Everything is spot-on… After watching it once, I was so eager to see it again that 48 hours later, I was back, and the second viewing was almost better than the first… The cast, the music, the direction, the story, the dialogues… all brilliant. A cult film… Brilliant and RE-brilliant.“

THE-CHECKER (5/5): “Pure British madness, this Snatch, with a Brad Pitt at his best in a role that fits (or rather, exceeds) his talent! In short, a rollicking good time from our friends across the pond, so good that we’re left wanting more! An instant classic!“
