Statham’s ability to actively reject range implies an actor who doesn’t know, or perhaps doesn’t care, what kind of film he’s in, and creates a unique viewing position that caters to the audience’s knowledge of his star persona. His performances are numerous, duplicated, yet unironic, allowing filmmakers to play with the concept of an entirely realised fictional character. Statham occupies the rare space of being able to operate within multiple national cinemas and cater to numerous filmmaking styles whilst adhering predominantly to only one performance.
