Get ready for pulse-pounding action as the first trailer for A Working Man, the latest from Jason Statham and director David Ayer, has just been released. Set to hit cinemas on March 28, this gritty action-thriller promises a high-stakes blend of personal vengeance, corruption, and intense combat.
Statham stars as Levon Cade, a former black ops operative who has left behind a dangerous military career for a quiet life working construction. But his peaceful existence is shattered when his boss’s daughter—a young woman Cade considers family—is abducted by human traffickers. Cade’s relentless pursuit to bring her home plunges him into a dark and dangerous underworld of corruption far more insidious than he ever imagined.
Based on Chuck Dixon’s novel Levon’s Trade, the screenplay is co-written by action legends Sylvester Stallone and David Ayer. With such powerhouse talent at the helm, the film promises not just raw action but also a narrative infused with emotional depth and high-stakes drama.
Statham, a staple of the action genre, brings his trademark intensity and charisma to Levon Cade. Joining him is an ensemble cast that includes David Harbour (Stranger Things), Michael Peña (Ant-Man), and Jason Flemyng (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), alongside rising stars like Noemi Gonzalez and Arianna Rivas.
The chemistry between Statham and his co-stars promises to elevate the film beyond standard action fare, with Harbour and Peña in particular standing out in the trailer as key players in Cade’s mission.
Director David Ayer (End of Watch, Fury) is known for his raw and realistic approach to action and crime dramas. A Working Man appears to be no exception, showcasing brutal hand-to-hand combat, explosive set pieces, and a gritty visual aesthetic that amplifies the tension at every turn. Ayer’s ability to delve into the psyche of his characters ensures that A Working Man will pack both an emotional and physical punch.
The trailer hints at a movie that blends high-stakes action with a deeply personal story. Fans of Statham’s no-nonsense heroes will not be disappointed, as the film looks to deliver intense fight sequences, nail-biting suspense, and a deeply satisfying tale of revenge.
The film’s R-rating in the US promises unflinching violence, coarse language, and gritty realism—a hallmark of both Ayer’s direction and Statham’s best work. The addition of Stallone’s screenplay influence further raises expectations for both compelling storytelling and explosive action.
A Working Man stands poised to be one of 2025’s standout action films. Combining a top-tier cast, a gripping narrative, and the hard-hitting style of David Ayer, this film is a must-watch for fans of the genre. With its March 28 release date, there’s no better time to gear up for one of the year’s most anticipated thrill rides.
