Forget The Beekeeper, Jason Statham's Most Rewatchable Deep Cut Is Streaming Now

Hannah Gearan (she/her) is has been writing for ScreenRant for over three years. Her deep cinema love traces back to age 11, when she equipped herself with a spiral-bound notebook, rated all the films she watched, and declared herself a critic. About a decade later, she received a BA from Wesleyan University, where she studied Film, Environmental Studies, and Writing. Hannah’s short film, Toxic Faucets, has screened at numerous film festivals, including the Independent Film Festival of Boston (IFFBoston). As a Movie News writer now, she draws upon her vast experience studying, making, and analyzing film as she approaches dynamic breaking stories.

One of Jason Statham's best overlooked films has just hit streaming.

Statham is easily one of the biggest action stars of this century. He has graced the screen with his talents in everything from franchise work on the Fast & Furious series and Mechanic movies to compelling one-offs like Wrath of Man. Recently, he delighted his fans with The Beekeeper, an early 2024 release that ended up earning a sequel.

Now, Statham's A Working Man is now officially on streaming. Audiences can catch the Statham movie on MGM+.

A Working Man is a Statham-led conspiracy thriller that was originally released in March 2025. The movie follows the story of Levon Cade, a man who leaves his dangerous job behind in order to work in construction and be a good father. However, things change for Levon when the disappearance of a local girl thrusts him back into the crime-ridden life he once knew.

A Working Man was released to PVOD just one month after its regular theatrical release. This came after a modest box office performance, with the movie making $37 million domestically and $89 million worldwide overall. This was a modest showing given its $40 million budget, though considerable enough considering its March release date.

In terms of reviews, A Working Man was quite divisive among fans and critics. Its Rotten Tomatoes record shows this, with the movie getting a rotten 46% Tomatometer, but a Verified Hot 87% Tomatometer from audiences. This goes to show that even when it is not the best film within his oeuvre, fans will turn up for Statham.

ScreenRant's review of A Working Man (from Mary Kassel) expressed these mixed feelings, giving the movie 5 out of 10 stars. Kassel complimented the film's action set pieces, while noting that "there's still plenty of clumsy exposition to parse through before we get to the good stuff."

The Beekeeper fans might be particularly interested in checking out A Working Man now that it is on streaming. It shares more than just a star with Statham, but director David Ayer. A Working Man is Ayer's immediate follow-up to The Beekeeper, so it is a great one for fans of the director to check out while they wait for his next theatrical release, Heart of the Beast.

Ultimately, A Working Man is worth arriving to for Statham and staying for its fun premise and great action set pieces. Statham is about to star in another theatrically released conspiracy thriller, Mutiny, which releases on August 21. This makes now a better time than ever to catch up on his recent filmography, and A Working Man's streaming status makes this more possible.
