A CHAT WITH DIRECTOR DAVID AYER
Ahead of the release of “A Working Man”, I spoke with director David Ayer. In our conversation, he gives me his thoughts on what makes Statham so special as an action star. Which then led to a chat about what makes a good action film. He also shares with us how important it was to ground Cade with a family and loved ones to raise the stakes and gives us a reason to cheer him on. It was a great conversation that you can check out below!
