When Jason Stathamwas cast as the lead in the 2002 action movie, The Transporter, he was a former model and athlete best known for small roles in two Guy Ritchie crime comedies; 1998’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrelsand the 2000 follow-up, Snatch. The Transporter proved to be quite a surprise at the time since Statham wasn’t particularly known outside those smaller roles, but it would be the start of a career that kept him regularly doing action for over two decades. With Statham’s latest action movie, A Working Man, reuniting him with his The Beekeeper director, David Ayer, now might be the perfect time to go all the way back to the beginnings of Statham’s high-speed race towards becoming one of the world’s most recognizable action stars, with The Transporterbeing what started it all.
