New on DVD: Take mayhem-filled business trip with 'A Working Man'

Tribune News Service on

Published in Entertainment News

The latest high-octane action film starring Jason Statham tops the DVD releases for the week of June 10.

"A Working Man": A construction worker with a military past goes on the warpath trying to rescue the daughter of his employers who has been kidnapped by human traffickers.

"In the latest episode of 'Jason Statham Takes On,' otherwise known as 'A Working Man,' directed by David Ayer, our hairless hero takes on the Chicago branch of the Russian mob, as well as a crew of meth-dealing bikers, a shady bartender or two, and anyone else who stands in his way," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "There are pops of mania and colorful characters to keep you hooked in (Chidi Ajufo as meth kingpin Dutch is particularly memorable), but in the grand scheme of Statham’s filmography, the shaggy 'A Working Man' ends up on the bottom of the heap."
