 It is Jason Statham, he is the star of the new movie “safe”, he has to save a  math prodigy¹ from a ruthless gang or really a couple of them, the movie opens April 27th , joining us now the toughest staff of the tough in Hollywood, Jason Statham, Jason, thanks for being here. 

 

Thanks very much, Josh. 

 

I had a chance to watch the movie yesterday, breakneck pace, and it’s always for you, I mean, do you ever get yourself a break when picking roles, you’re doing all the stunts² again.

 

Well, you know, I’m not sure the reason I keep picking these roles, but we’re sure the joints³ are gonna wear out soon enough, for now, they’re still ok, so we’ll keep doing them.

 

Well, and also, there is a lot of depth to your character, he’s something of a broken man, and you really got, it gave you a chance to seem to really stretch, and really dig into an introspective character. 

 

Yeah, Boaz Yakin is a writer and director, he really wanted to make, you know, a very strong sort of genre⁴ movie, but have some emotional core, so he brought in Catherine, who plays May, who’s a very young Asian girl that have a great relation with, and it just gives the movie a lot heart. 

 

Alright. Let’s take a look very quickly, a scene from the movie safe.

 

So what about this number?

 

It’s a long boring number.

 

How do you know it’s one number, not a bunch of separate numbers. 

 

Because they have a 3 or 7 before them, odd numbers are random⁵ but 5 then has a 7 before it, 8 then has a 3 before it, that’s too meantime to be random. 

 

So it’s the 3 and 7 that are interesting because they happen too many times to be random, because they’re not numbers, they are words, right left, left right, old school, combination to a safe.

 

Again it’s not a straight of action movie, you see that and you think to  yourself, so often a movie that stars a young actor can be held hostage by the actress, but boy, she really carries this movie on. 

 

She really does, it’s her first film and it’s you know, it’s a big mountain to climb and she does a terrific job, that’s probably the quietest moment in the movie, 

 

Yes, it is, it definitely, it definitely is, 

 

Yeah, the wheels come off severely⁶ after that, yeah

 

And there was an answer very quickly, I wondered how, you know you’re getting your legs above the head for all these action scenes, but you’re doing it in suits, if I try it right now, there would be a wardrobe malfunction⁷. You are wearing special suits?

 

In a way, I think you need a lot of Karasodo to avoid that problem, 

 

Could be. Again, a phenomenal movie, and the best of luck with it, opening April 27th, the movie is safe, he is Jason Statham. 

 

Thanks Josh,
