Damn, nobody points a gun at the camera and scowls like Jason Statham
The thing that you get when you go to a Jason Statham movie, first and foremost, is reliability. Dip into a Blitz or a Safe or a Parker, and you know what’ll be on offer: Jason Statham scowling at people. Jason Statham occasionally making a sarcastic little quip. And most especially, Jason Statham pointing a gun at people (or, occasionally, a shark).
We’re not talking shit here, either; Statham’s a totally reliable screen presence, a charmingly violent baseline who, above all, seems very comfortable with the holding of guns and the pointing at people that such an act might then demand. Hence our amusement at this impromptu Twitter quiz thrown together by ScreenCrush’s Matt Singer, who asked a simple question: Can you tell the difference between a wide variety of Jason Stathams pointing a wide variety of guns at a (presumably) wide variety of unseen people?
Obviously, Statham’s gun-wielding oeuvre contains multitudes: Sometimes he wears a suit! Sometimes it is a more casual gun-pointing-at-people day at the office. (Who even knows what that collar is going to be up to.) Often The Gun (his celebrated co-star) is in Statham’s right hand, but every now and again it shakes things up a bit and pops up in his left.
