Jason Statham is in pursuit of a missing teenage girl in the trailer for the thriller movie A Working Man.
Director David Ayer‘s action feature is set for wide theatrical release from Amazon MGM Studios on March 28. Rounding out the cast are Michael Peña, David Harbour, Jason Flemyng, Merab Ninidze, Maximilian Osinski, Cokey Falkow, Noemi Gonzalez, Arianna Rivas, Emmett J. Scanlan and Eve Mauro.
A Working Man centers on Levon Cade (Statham), a former black ops agent who has turned to a simpler life of working construction. When his boss’ daughter goes missing, Levon’s mission to find her plunges him into a world of corruption.
“This isn’t just some kidnapping,” Statham says in the trailer. “This is human trafficking.” Later, he declares, “Gangs, the Mob, corrupt government officials — they’re all involved in human trafficking.”
At one point, Levon’s friend, played by Harbour, offers his own assessment: “You killed your way into it. You’re gonna have to kill your way out of it.”
Ayer directed the film from a script he co-wrote with Sylvester Stallone that is based on Chuck Dixon’s 2014 novel Levon’s Trade. Statham, Ayer, Stallone, Chris Long, John Friedberg, Bill Block and Kevin King Templeton serve as producers.
Statham and Ayer previously collaborated on last year’s thriller film The Beekeeper, which surpassed $150 million at the global box office.
Ayer’s other past features include Suicide Squad, and the filmmaker has recently been outspoken on social media about pushing for a release of his own cut of the 2016 Warner Bros. title.
