Jason Statham's 'Spy' Role Proved He Should Be in More Comedies

When someone can be in on the joke, it proves that they don't take themselves too seriously. Jason Statham has been a staple in action films for years, and he has found a very successful niche playing into a specific screen persona that has served him well. It's familiar to audiences, like cinematic comfort food that is always satisfying. Even more satisfying is how Statham, fully aware of his recognizable screen persona, masterfully poked fun at it in Spy. This 2015 action comedy gave Statham a chance to showcase a strength many didn't know he had. The man knows his way around action, but he's also quite funny.
