Ten Favorite Jason Statham Movies

(Statham makes for an unusually convincing action hero—probably the best we have right now—because he brings a dancer’s grace to his fighting sequences and because he seems not too terribly bothered by anything. Here are my favorites among his movies, in order of preference.)

 

  1. The Transporter (directed by Corey Yuen and Louis Leterrier, 2002)

  2. Safe (directed by Boaz Yakin, 2012)

  3. The Bank Job (directed by Roger Donaldson, 2008)

  4. Homefront (directed by Gary Fleder, 2013)

  5. The Mechanic (directed by Simon West, 2011)

  6. Snatch (directed by Guy Ritchie, 2000)

  7. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (directed by Guy Ritchie, 1998)

  8. Mechanic: Resurrection (directed by Dennis Gansel, 2016)

  9. Transporter 3 (directed by Olivier Megaton, 2008)

  10. Transporter 2 (directed by Louis Leterrier, 2005)
