Jason Statham is gradually evolving into an all-purpose weapon in Guy Ritchie’s “Operation Fortune,” offering both action and positivity.
When it comes to casting a cool, tough, yet grounded and fair action hero, Jason Statham is the best in Hollywood. He also has an advantage over his action counterparts like Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, and others in that he can just step into the part while the others have to act it out. This is the subtle distinction and the reason you see the 54-year-old British actor in action films as well as comedy and thrillers.
The endearing first teaser for director Guy Ritchie’s action comedy “Operation Fortune” shows that he gets to take things more leisurely before facing off against Iko Uwais in the highly anticipated “Expendables 4”:
As you can plainly see, Ritchie skillfully blends situational comedy, witty quotes, focused action, and an ensemble that is incredibly dynamic and chemistry-rich in “Operation Fortune.” based on the trailer, anyhow.
Guy Ritchie developed an affection for the action genre after “Operation Fortune.”
Jason Statham plays super spy Orson Fortune in “Operation Fortune,” which aims to stop the transfer of extremely deadly technologies and solve an explosive arms deal. He is given access to a group of the world’s top agents in order to do this. They still require the assistance of a civilian, Hollywood star Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett), in order to reach their destination. Using this diversionary approach, the goal is to enter Greg Simmonds’ (Hugh Grant) organization in order to effectively fulfill the objective.
The action thriller “Cash Truck” was the last movie Ritchie appeared in. For “Operation Fortune,” he also recruited Statham and Hartnett as actors. Hugh Grant, Eddie Marsan, Eugenia Kuzmina, Peter Ferdinando, Sam Douglas, and Bugzy Malone are among the other well-known characters from earlier Ritchie productions. Aubrey Plaza and Cary Elwes, in a brand-new role, are also present.
After “Cash Truck” and “Codename UNCLE,” the upcoming movie is the third action film directed by Guy Ritchie, who co-wrote the screenplay for “Operation Fortune” with Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies. However, Ritchie is clearly also concentrating on the sharp humor of his earlier works.
