that's kind of the point though, he's not ment to be the next shakesperian actor, he's a moden day arnie or sly!
i mean you can't honestly say arnie or sly could ever act well but they did great action films, and that's the same for jason, basically if i watch a film with him in i don't look for awesome acting, i look for "turn my brain off" style amazing action!
and that's what he's very good at, off the top of my head there's not a single film he's done i didn't like, again i'm not saying they were cinematic masterpieces, just that they were good action films

i mean look at keanu reeves, he gets way more parts than statham and he's a terrible actor who's expression ranges from suprised to looking constipated when he trys to show emotion lol,
at least statham can play that one style of role well, more than can be said for some actors,
that film looks pretty good actually wasn't expecting much when i first heard about it, might try and watch it at somepoint.

you make a good point, compared to Keanu, jason is a Shakespearian actor! Also i didn't mean to imply i thought he was a bad actor, i actually think he's fairly good, i also think he's more beleivable as a action guy than arnie or sly, i mean those guys were just two guys with massive muscles who spent all their time in the gym, where as stratham is leaner and looks like he's actually more fit and could properly fight etc... because he's not just big muscles. i know that i for one would rather fight arnie or sly than jason, i'm not saying i'd win with any of them, not by a long way, i just think i'd get less beaten to crap by arnie or sly

but like you given they choice if i had to fight any of them,
it would probably be arnie or sly, purely because i'd be faster than those two and could stay out of their way for a bit and delay the inevitable beating lol.

that was exactly my thinking, plus a lot of people don't understand the fact that just because someone's muscles are big, it doesn't mean they are strong. i mean a lot of the bodybuilder guys aren't actually as strong as some smaller guys who put in the proper training, literally all bodybuilder guys like arnie and sly cared about was the size of the muscles not the performance of them
