Here’s a list of best Jason Statham movies that are currently available on Netflix. Jason Statham had never acted before in his career prior to appearing in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
The debut feature film from Guy Ritchie became a huge hit when it was released in 1998, with the British gangster comedy becoming known for its style and humor. Statham – a former Olympic diver – quickly moved on to action films, first appearing as John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars, before joining the Transporter series.
Statham’s first calling card was his ability to make action heroines look realistic, as seen in such films as The Transporter, Death Race, 2000’s Crank: High Voltage, and the like. But he subsequently expanded into comedy with Spy or blockbusters like 2018’s The Meg. He also has a couple of notable franchises under his belt, Fast & Furious and The Expendables.
Here are the best Jason Statham movies available on Netflix right now.
