  • Death of a Unicorn, a horror-comedy from A24
  • The Woman in the Yard, a psychological horror from Blumhouse
  • A Working Man, an action-thriller from MGM

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.

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!

[-] turtle@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago

Jason Statham is like his own IP now, similar to superhero or star wars movies. Should we call it the "Jason Statham universe"?

[-] turtle@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Haha, yes, that!

He had all kinds of jobs. First a transporter, a mechanic and then a bee keeper.

[-] Klordok@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

And an extensive military career as a highly trained operative in every private and government special program.

[-] hopelessrespawner@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Sounds like... a working man ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] dicksteele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

He is the Johnny sins of the acting world, obviously not as accomplished still.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

Plus a diver and a dancer in music videos. But these two in real life.

[-] ghostlychonk@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

He's like the AC/DC of acting: you know exactly what you're getting each time.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

"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.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Hmmm, sounds like something I'll like.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago
[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 4 weeks ago

Funny enough.

Shoot 'Em UP

But also if you haven't check out Slevin

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

Sounds VERY original.

[-] hopelessrespawner@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

It looks so generic ๐Ÿ˜‘

[-] dovah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

And we love to see it!

I once jumped a car onto a moving train while on fire

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 month ago
[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It looks like a carbon copy of Bee Keeper
