The 12 Most Badass Jason Statham Movies, Ranked
The number 1 slot might be a bit of a surprise in the context of Statham’s other movies, especially considering his character’s “supporting” status, but Spy is by far Statham at his best. With Spy, Statham uses his action base to explore his comedic chops–to excellent effect. In the Paul Feig-directed film, which follows a CIA desk jockey-turned-field agent portrayed by Melissa McCarthy, Statham plays Rick Ford, a fellow spy. Cocky and foul-mouthed, Ford tags along on McCarthy’s high-stakes mission, believing that she will screw up, and adds to her rag-tag group of agency misfits. While he steals most of his scenes (make sure to stick around for his bonus credits moment), he also creates space for McCarthy to do her thing, making him the ultimate cast addition.
