You gotta love Jason Statham movies!!!!! The one thing that they do not lack is action, and this film is no exception!!! It's got dirty cops, Russian Mafia, and the Chinese Syndicate; throw in a twelve (12) year old mathematics genius with a photogenic memory, and you have the formula for a very exciting, highly enjoyable, E ticket ride of a film.
Jason Statham is Luke Wright, a former NYC policeman, turned New Jersey MMA fighter. When he accidentally knocks out his opponent in a fixed fight, the Russian Mafia kills his wife but spares his in order to continue their torment on him. He must continue to live his life; however, he cannot have any interaction with any other living person or risk their death. As he contemplates taking his own live in a NYC subway terminal, he cannot help but notice a frighten Chinese girl (Mai) and some Russian thugs in her pursuit. Upon rescuing her from her assailants, he promises her safety as he tries to figure out the secret contained in a long list of numbers that she was forced to memorize.
Like I said, the action sequences in this film are amazing, and non-stop. The storyline is fresh, and the Statham character is enduring. I liked this film, and definitely can recommend it. It's the perfect Saturday afternoon flick to be enjoyed with a big bag of popcorn, and a jumbo diet coke. So buckle up for the ride of your life, you will not be disappointed!!!
