Does Jason Statham ever smile??? Then again, with that body, who needs a smile?! And he shows it off from his opening scene.

This time, Statham is a 2nd rate cage fighter who isn’t at all what he appears to be. Caught between the New York City wars between the Russian and Chinese mafias and a very corrupt police department, this one’s an MMA fan’s dream: non-stop fighting. In between, it’s a developing love story- as in parental-like love involving Statham and an orphan math-genius Asian girl.

This one’s a must-see for Statham fans. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a Statham flick. It’s also a winner if action movies are your game. For the rest it’s your typical m&m..murder and mayhem.

2-and-a-half stars.
