Not ‘Fast & Furious’ or ‘The Transporter’: this is Jason Statham’s highest-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes that also broke his box office record

Jason Statham is one of the most recognized actors of the past few decades, and at nearly 60, he continues to shine on the big screen. With a career full of major hits that have made him a standout in action cinema, it’s surprising that the highest-grossing film he has starred in is actually a comedy—excluding franchises like Fast & Furious or The Expendables.

That film is “Spy”, directed by Paul Feig, and it also features stars like Jude Law, Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, and Morena Baccarin, among others. The movie was not only a box office success but also critically acclaimed, earning an impressive 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and praised as hilarious for its playful parody of the spy genre without falling into clichés..

A standout film in Statham’s career

One of the best films in Jason Statham’s career, the movie was a success on every front, grossing over $235 million on a $65 million budget.

The synopsis of Spy reads: “Susan Cooper is a modest, sedentary CIA analyst and the overlooked heroine of the agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner disappears off the face of the earth and another agent gets into trouble, Susan volunteers as a secret agent to embark on an undercover mission. She must infiltrate the world of a ruthless arms dealer to prevent a global disaster.”
