A Working Man review
There are a few thing certainties you can count on in movies. If it’s an Adam Sandler movie, there’ll be at least one fart joke. If it’s a Jason Statham movie, there’ll be at least one dude getting a limb broken and plenty of punching. This week’s movie “A Working Man” that bill. Statham plays Levon Cade, who used to be an elite military operator, but now tries to make an honest living as a working man in construction. He works for land developer Joe Garcia, played by Michael Pena, who knows what he used to do. When Joe’s daughter is kidnapped, he pleads to Levon to find and return her. Levon has a young daughter himself, so he can feel this father’s pain and agrees. That decision lights the fuse on a bloody mission to find the girl. The human traffickers responsible for taking her, have no idea who is on their trail. Levon makes them very aware of who’s hunting them, one by one. Levon has to intimidate, go undercover and just plain go on all-out frontal assaults as part of his quest. Is it worth going to the theater to find out how it all ends? Watch this episode to find out. “A Working Man” also stars Jason Flemyng, Merab Ninidze, Maximilian Osinski, Cokey Falkow, David Harbour, Noemi Gonzalez, Arianna Rivas, Isla Gie, Emmett J Scanlan and Eve Mauro.
End Of Watch review
We go rough and tumble this week on Movies Merica with a retro review of the gritty cop drama End Of Watch. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena star as LAPD cops, Brian and Mike, who patrol one of the worst, if not the worst, crime-ridden parts of L.A. This film shows the seedy world they have to protect and serve the citizens of, all while not getting killed by any number of criminal scum. Gyllenhaal’s character, Brian, takes up filming his, and Mike’s, exploits in this world with his personal camera so we get a unique take on the cop drama. Also with this distinctive perspective, it shows the brotherly bond between Brian and Mike as they bust each others chops when they’re not busting perpetrators. Alongside the rough edges and brutal violence of their job, End Of Watch also presents Brian and Mike’s personal lives and who they’re trying to protect and stay alive for. End Of Watch doesn’t hold back on the darkness of the job while at the same time infusing the movie with humor to help you make it through. Is this movie worth your time? Check out Movies Merica to find out! End Of Watch also stars Natalie Martinez, Anna Kendrick, America Ferrera, Frank Grillo, David Harbour, Cle Sloan, Jaime FitzSimons, Cody Horn, Shondrella Avery, Everton Lawrence, Richard Cabral and Diamonique.
The Beekeeper review
If Jason Statham isn’t kicking somebody’s butt, he must be sleeping or in the shower. Statham has carved out a nice niche in the action genre for decades now. The Beekeeper is his latest, and honey, is there a lot of buzz about it as it’s coming out! Statham plays Adam Clay who befriends an elderly lady who lets him keep bees on her property. She is then becomes a victim of cybercrime and loses all her money and takes her own life from the anguish. Statham isn’t having any of that and someone cyberpunks have to pay. Let’s just say he’s got a particular set of skills and some baddies are about to pay the bills. Directed by David Ayer who also directed End Of Watch, Fury, Suicide Squad and Street Kings and wrote Training Day. Is the buzz around this enough to get you to leave your hive to check it out?

This also stars Phylicia Rashad, Josh Hutcherson, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Bobby Naderi, David Witts, Michael Epp, Taylor James, Jemma Redgrave, Don Gilet, Enzo Cilenti, Minnie Driver and Jeremy Irons.
