Jason Statham's Movies Surge Amid Sequel Announcement

The action film 'Carjackers' is currently outperforming Jason Statham's 'The Beekeeper' on streaming platforms, despite receiving poor reviews. 'Carjackers,' a French film about a group of car thieves, has climbed to #7 on Prime Video's top 10 charts, while Statham’s latest thriller remains popular, grossing over $150 million globally. Critics have given 'Carjackers' a low IMDb score of 4.9, yet it still attracts an audience, indicating that streaming success doesn't always correlate with critical acclaim. Meanwhile, Statham's 'The Beekeeper' has been well-received with a 71% rating from critics and a sequel is confirmed, with Timo Tjahjanto set to direct. Statham continues to maintain a strong presence in the action genre, with new projects underway, including 'A Working Man.' Both films illustrate the competitive nature of the action genre in streaming, as established stars face off against newer offerings.
