Shaw was a mercenary formerly with British Special Forces and MI6 and Hattie’s brother, who remains at odds with, but joins forces with Hobbs in order to help the former’s sister, Hattie. In a review released by Variety, it was said that fan favourites Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson milk the friction between their characters while teaming up to save the world in this gratuitously over-the-top spinoff.

The 2011 movie Blitz is a British action thriller movie directed by Elliott Lester. Apart from Jason Statham, David Morrissey, Aidan Gillen and Paddy Considine played vital roles. He played the role of Tom Brant, a gruff detective sergeant who has a history of violent incidents. He was introduced decking a street gang with a hurling stick. As a techy detective, he has dangerous investigative styles in association with Porter Nash (played by Paddy Considine).

The Expendables 1, 2 and 3

Jason Statham character as Lee Christmas in The Expendables franchise was always praiseworthy. The Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Lee Christmas was shown as a former SAS soldier and Barney Ross’ (played by Sylvester Stallone) closest friend on the Expendables team. Barney severely trusted Lee with dangerous missions. Lee was shown having a girlfriend also whom he wanted to marry. The interesting part was seeing Lee throwing knives with amazing accuracy and speed often taking down multiple opponents at the same time. In this franchise, he was shown tremendously capable in unarmed combat.
