Jason Statham in The Bank Job (Lionsgate)
Jason Statham is not an actor of great range but he's good at what he does and he's carved out a profitable and comfortable niche for himself with films such as Snatch, The Transporter and The Mean Machine. He’s a muscular action star who specializes in laconic, tough characters that are just shady enough to be dangerous and sexy but not shady enough to be unlikable. Statham doesn’t push any boundaries with his latest film, The Bank Job (opening March 7 throughout san Diego) in which he plays a not altogether reputable car dealer who gets pulled into a scam that’s way out of his league.
