AVClub: Has enough time yet passed for a new Jason Statham action thriller to qualify as a throwback? Even in their mid-’00s heyday, Statham’s movies felt like descendants of earlier eras, offering ’80s excess on ’70s budgets; it’s one reason he was so at home in Sylvester Stallone’s Expendables crew. But Statham’s solo vehicles also have a Eurotrash/Asian fusion sheen that’s very much of their time. Since the release of his 2011 thriller The Mechanic (a remake of a ’70s Charles Bronson vehicle, naturally), the economics of the low-level action movie have shifted to such a degree that the belated sequel Mechanic: Resurrection boasts a stronger cast on a visibly lower budget. The latter, at least, makes sense, presumably accommodating minimal, borderline nonexistent demand.
The latest "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer gave us a glimpse at the MCU's golden boys kicking butt and taking names - as well as a whole mess of Easter eggs.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
