Jason Statham loves to play the good guy badass character is his films .... and occasionally he just likes to play the badass. Either way he knows how to throw a punch.
Up next for the high profile action star is Lionsgate's Safe, a fil where he gets to depict a fighter who has been cast to the streets and getting caught intentionally blowing a fight. Every single person he loved has been murdered. He is distraught and alone, that is until he meets Mai, a young orphaned math prodigy. Though normal on the outside, we soon learn that Mai holds the numerical code that New York's most violent criminals have been searching for for ages. With Mai's life at stake Statham's Luke must decide whether intervening is in the best interest of the young girl.
Sounds like typical Statham fan fair to me - and who can argue with that? The trailer is above for your viewing pleasure. And get ready, Safe hits theaters on March 2, 2012.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
