I'm making this post to bring attention to original movies being released that people here might not have heard about. If it's recieved well, perhaps I'll make this a weekly series of posts about originals being released.
Okay, technically, A Working Man is based on a book, but for all intents and purposes, it's original.

Working Man is technically original but its also Jason Statham shooting a million dudes while acting like Billy Badass so its kinda just derivative of all his other movies.
You see Statham on the poster, you know exactly what you are getting.
Oi, I'm from fackin landan you, cant. jump kick to the head
So aufentic it makes me omesick, innit?
Nomean?
Ferocious bald man
I was surprised by just how far they pushed the ending of The Meg 2. That might be only a film I like though!
Jason Statham is like his own IP now, similar to superhero or star wars movies. Should we call it the "Jason Statham universe"?
You mean the Stathamverse?
Haha, yes, that!
He had all kinds of jobs. First a transporter, a mechanic and then a bee keeper.
And an extensive military career as a highly trained operative in every private and government special program.
Sounds like... a working man ๐
He is the Johnny sins of the acting world, obviously not as accomplished still.
Plus a diver and a dancer in music videos. But these two in real life.
Sounds VERY original.
"From the director of The Beekeeper" is enough to make me uninterested in this.
That movie sucked, even for a "Jason Statham kills people for 90 minutes" movie.
Hmmm, sounds like something I'll like.
If you just like "Shoot Em Up" movies and aren't turned off by the idea of Paul Giamatti sucking on a dead woman's milky tit then I have the movie for you.
I'm listening...
Funny enough.
Shoot 'Em UP
But also if you haven't check out Slevin
It looks so generic ๐
And we love to see it!
*except Spy
I once jumped a car onto a moving train while on fire
And Snatch
It looks like a carbon copy of Bee Keeper
