A Working Man 4K Review (Warner Bros./MGM)

A Working Man is a 2025 action film co-written, produced, and directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, End of Watch, The Beekeeper, Fury, Street Kings, and Harsh Times). It was co-written and produced by Sylvester Stallone (Rocky franchise, Creed franchise, Rambo franchise, The Expendables franchise, Cliffhanger, Over the Top, Tulsa King, and Cobra). It’s based on the novel “Levon’s Trade” from author Chuck Dixon. The budget was $40,000,000 and it grossed $88,100,711 worldwide at the box office!!!! Levon Cade (played by: Jason Statham from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Expendables, Crank franchise, The Fast and Furious franchise, Snatch, The Transporter franchise, The Beekeeper, The Mechanic franchise, and The Meg franchise) left behind his decorated military career in the black ops to live a simple life working construction for his friend Joe Garcia (played by: Michael Peña from End of Watch, Ant-Man franchise, American Hustle, Crash, 12 Strong, The Mule, and Jack Ryan). When his boss’s daughter Jenny (played by: Arianna Rivas from Black Phone 2, Prom Dates, and 9-1-1), who is like family to him is taken by human traffickers ran by some dangerous criminals. His search to bring her home uncovers a world of corruption far greater than he ever could have imagined!!!! Action icon Sylvester Stallone co-wrote and produced A Working Man. If it was made about around 15 to 20 years ago, this would have been a starring vehicle for him but he let his younger friend Jason Statham take on the bad ass role. This is a great follow up to their previous collaboration The Beekeeper with Statham and director David Ayer teaming up again. This is the perfect project for action star Jason Statham. These are the best types of features for the veteran. He’s just always in his element with stuff like this. His character has a deadly past and he’s just trying to be a normal guy until his friend’s daughter gets in trouble. At first, he’s reluctant to get back into the game. Michael Peña is always solid as always as his boss Joe Garcia. He’s desperate to get his daughter back at any cost and no matter what it takes. David Harbour (HellBoy, Thunderbolts, Black Widow, Violent Night, Suicide Squad, and Stranger Things) is great as Levon’s old friend Gunny Lefferty. He helps out with whatever he can despite having a severe disability. It’s a nice change for the character actor. A Working Man has some colorful and really interesting villains. The rest of the supporting cast includes Jason Flemyng (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Merab Ninidze (Conclave), Maximilian Osinski (The Walking Dead: World Beyond), Cokey Falkow (Doomsday), Noemi Gonzalez (The Tax Collector), Isla Gie (The Outlaws), Emmett J Scanlan (MobLand), Greg Kolpakchi (Tetris), Piotr Witkowski (Slad), Chidi Ajufo (The Gentleman), and Ricky Champ (Game of Thrones). A Working Man is a non stop adrenaline rush. It’s loaded with crazy action and over the top violence. Levon has to go through hell and so many different levels of scum to find the girl. It keeps itself very tense and suspenseful especially towards to it’s brutal finale. A Working Man is a blast, darkly entertaining, and so much during all it’s mayhem. It’s one of the bigger surprises of the year, RECOMMENDED!!!! Let’s discuss this high definition presentation from Warner Bros and MGM!!!! This 2160p (2.39:1) transfer with HDR10 looks excellent in 4K. Visually, A Working Man really pops with it’s stylish cinematography, sharp production design, and a variety of interesting spots.
