omg wat?

the guy was cool in the guy richie films but thats it. he's like the wannabes answer to bruce willis, and even willis isnt that cool.

there is absolutely nothing about him that stands out that provides that he should play so many 'badass' roles, and he makes those roles even lamer than the movie required. he sounds like a twat. i love british accents more than anybody ever, but i cant stand his. its like jack bauer meets mr bean or something stupid.

he cant even move that well. tom cruise is a better 'action hero' than statham. the only redeeming quality he has is that all the movies he's starred in are subpar writing/directing. at least those who know movies know he would be a disgrace as leading role to actual quality films.

look at it this way:

clive owen in shoot em up >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> statham in crank.

they were supposed to be very similar characters too. owen was super cool and funny, statham was a douchebags wet dream
