In Mutiny, Jason Statham does Jason Statham things but on a boat this time

Jason Statham stars in Mutiny, a film helmed by Jean-François Richet, where the action star takes on the role of a bodyguard on a cargo ship. Statham plays Cole Reed, a good-hearted tough guy who is thrust into a situation of revenge after his employer is assassinated on board a Thai shipping vessel. Along with Annabelle Wallis, who plays an innocent third mate needing rescue, and Adrian Lester, who portrays a Navy commander, Mutiny follows Reed's quest for vengeance amidst a complex setting of a cargo ship.

Despite the presence of human trafficking victims and a murdered employer waiting for justice, Mutiny remains focused on Statham's character, with the crew's setting serving as a mere backdrop for his relentless pursuit.
