Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Jason Statham spends the first 15 minutes of his latest action thriller being pushed around, beaten up and so thoroughly dissed that you can guarantee, sooner or later, somebody's going to pay for it.
As one Luke Wright, his backstory is a bit confusing – he goes swiftly from cage-fighter to street bum, then reveals his deadly moves as an ex-government agent.
On the verge of killing himself, Wright decides instead to save the life of an 11-year-old Chinese girl, Mei (Catherine Chan), a numbers whizz whose talent is brutally exploited by Russian mobsters and Triads as they carve up the New York underworld.
Throw in corrupt cops and a dodgy mayor and you've got a pretty crowded house, which Statham proceeds to trash with fists, firepower and flying high-kicks.
