Clift | ‘A Working Man’ offers wild, unlikely costumes, but dark action | Characteristics

The daughter of his boss, a teenager, was kidnapped by the accompanying wing of a Russian mafia operation. And I know, I know: At that time the whole story is dead. In recent years it has been so common to accuse everything on the Russian mafia that regular film visitors feel the steleness of imagination when the idea is introduced.

But we are already in the theater. And we like Statham. So let’s look for things in the film that we can like. Unfortunately, stallones contain the best screenplays eccentric characters (Statham is unlikely that it will play you) in decaying contemporary environments. Sure, the big shoulders of the shoulders are crumbling a bit – have you been to O’Hare lately? But the film doesn’t really show us much what the old Schweinbutcher looks like, apart from frequent fly over recordings of the Sky line.

There are some smaller characters in “a working man” who are Stallone-ODD. Halfway into the film, they appear suddenly-two racers in colorful print outfits that fit from bucket hats to shoes, the great black king of a biker bar in a throne of chrome-tailpipes, a blonde slawen maniac shooter, a sandy Jesus-Alike ilegal drug distributor and so on.

As Levon (Statham) follows, we meet pretty weak leads from one location to another. In the meantime, he shoots and knives boys. I tried to pursue the number of men he kills, but they came too quickly and angry during a late rural casino -afraid of all his tormentors. Over two dozen.

There are some distractions in the film, distractions from the act of action with the main kidnappers. At some point, Levon interrupts a beat of two men (collector of the Russian loan shark?) A member of the tree team. He gets an evil call from and has a bad meeting with his former father -in -law who blames him for the death of his wife. Don’t ask why.

Then the late Levon has to save his agonizing in -laws in front of a house fire when the organized criminals go there and look for our hero. Levon leaves Mary with a blind former military camera (David Harbor), who continues to practice archery and has an arsenal loan library.

The spectators enjoy the wild and unlikely costumes in the film. But the action scenes are shot from too close in and usually in such a darkness that you cannot enjoy punching and kicking. If we can’t enjoy the fights in a Revenge film, can you be said as a success?
