What's the deal with Jason Statham movies?

Action on the cheap.

He's no Dolph. :(

He belongs to British Gangster movies, the ones with a barely understandable sociolectal/dialectal English, far from Queen's English.
Like Guy Ritchie.

Naw.  Not every single Stratham movie is one in which he scowls while driving a car fast.  He was in that incredibly cheesy swords and sorcery movie with Ray Liotta too.

He was in the Expendables movies, though his presence was easy to forget.

He was there to do the stunts and action that stalleone and schwartzenegger are  unable and willis can't be arsed to do.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

They have stunt doubles for that. Nowadays, computers too.

The Dungeon Siege film? Indeed, that one was very bad.

Statham has been in some decent films besides the Guy Ritchie ones, though. The Bank Job is pretty good.

I can't remember the title.  The one with the bad rubber suits and Ray Liotta cackling in the clouds.

On the recommendation of my boys I started watching Sherlock.
