Streaming service Prime Video introduces a fresh action-thriller featuring Jason Statham, a must-watch for enthusiasts of top-grossing film 'The Beekeeper'

In the world of action-thrillers, "A Working Man" has made a notable entrance on Prime Video. Directed by David Ayer, known for his steady hand in the genre, the movie stars Jason Statham as Levon Cade, a former Royal Marine Commando who has swapped his military career for a life in construction.

The film follows Levon's life as a quiet construction worker in Chicago, but everything changes when he stumbles upon a dark secret that draws him back into a dangerous world. Levon is fighting for custody of his daughter, and when human traffickers take his boss's daughter hostage, he is forced to re-enter the world of betrayal and violence.

The movie is co-written by David Ayer and Sylvester Stallone, and it delivers well-choreographed action set pieces that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The early fistfight on a construction site adds a pinch of novelty to the mix.

"A Working Man" has secured a high position in Amazon's top 10 most-watched list, making it a must-watch for action-thriller fans. However, it may not be as entertaining as "The Beekeeper" due to its more self-serious tone. The lack of a self-aware streak that made "The Beekeeper" such an unexpected joy is noticeable in "A Working Man."

For those seeking a change of pace, Prime Video recently added Steven Soderbergh's "Black Bag" to its collection. Tom, a critic, ranks "Black Bag" as one of his favorite movies of the year (so far).

"A Working Man" is based on the 2014 novel by Chuck Dixon, and Levon enlists the help of his old friend, Gunny (played by David Harbour), to rescue the hostage. The movie is currently available on Prime Video for those looking for a new action-thriller to add to their watchlist.

Despite not being the most memorable movie of the year, "A Working Man" offers a gripping story, intense action, and a strong performance from Jason Statham. Whether you're a fan of Statham's work or simply looking for a new action-thriller to watch, "A Working Man" is worth checking out.
