Jason Statham’s 2-Part Action Series is Quietly One of the Best Thrillers Streaming on HBO Max

Few stars are more associated with action movies than Jason Statham. The British actor has built a decades-long career in the genre by frequently portraying grizzled, hardened protagonists in a variety of occupations, including “beekeeper” and “mechanic.” In 2018, he was able to add “scuba diver” and “shark killer” to that list of on-screen careers with the release of The Meg. An American and Chinese co-production, The Meg swam to massive international box office success upon its release and is one of the most entertaining films currently available on streaming.
