English action movie star Jason Statham was a martial artist, footballer, and member of Britain’s national diving team who worked as a model before beginning his acting career. His work for the French Connection caught the eye of director Guy Ritchie, who cast him in his 1998 and 2000 crime comedy thrillers, ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and ‘Snatch,’ respectively. Both films became commercial hits, establishing him in Hollywood. He went on to play supporting roles in a number of movies before leading the ‘Transporter’ film series from 2002, which solidified his place as an action star. Jason has appeared in both ensemble action films, such as ‘The Italian Job,’ ‘The Expendables’ series, and the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, as well as in films where he plays the solo lead. The latter group includes ‘Crank,’ ‘The Mechanic,’ ‘The Meg,’ ‘Wrath of Man,’ and ‘The Beekeeper,’ among others. If you are planning to explore his works on Netflix, the following list will guide you through.
1. Furious 7 (2015)
The seventh installment of the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, ‘Furious 7,’ picks up the story after the takedown of international terrorist Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew in ‘Fast & Furious 6.’ As they go back to lead their normal lives, Owen’s older brother Deckard Shaw (Statham) comes looking for revenge. DSS agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) gets drawn into the conflict and allies himself with Dominic after Deckard breaks into his field office in Los Angeles to extract profiles of the crew, and detonates a bomb that severely injures Luke. The last movie to feature Paul Walker as Brian before the actor tragically passed away, ‘Furious 7’ further ups the stakes from ‘Fast & Furious 6,’ something the franchise is known to do with every installment. You can stream the film directed by James Wan here.
