'Mutiny' review: I wanted to love Jason Statham's new action thriller but it fails him
Jason Statham stows away on a cargo ship to take down human traffickers in this dull, forgettable action movie.
Jason Statham's latest action thriller, "Mutiny," fails to live up to the expectations set by his previous work. Statham, known for his reliability and consistency as an action star, needs more than just his presence to be successful; filmmakers need to know how to utilize him to his greatest potential. "Mutiny" is slowed down by its dull exposition and lack of engaging characters, offering only sporadic action sequences that are merely solid but unremarkable.
The director, Jean-François Richet, holds Statham back for too much of the movie's brief running time, resulting in a generic and poorly paced film. While Statham fans may find a few bright spots, others would be better off rewatching his superior action movies at home.
