When he's an action hero pulling Arnold stunts in planes and racing cars like Vin Diesel, it cheapens things.
He's better when he's sipping martinis and delivering smooth dialogue, doing missions with his brains.
Then when he busts out the guns and fucks people up it matters.

Casino Royale was brilliant. This movie dealt with shit that they should leave to bad Jason Statham movies.
Hey Statham rules bitch. :foc:
