'Mechanical' star Jason Statham talks charm playing tough guys

Those familiar with the work of Jason Statham know that he really does not movies "fluffy" or romantic comedies. He is a man of action and general butt-kicking/badass-cry: see "the transporter", "the bank Job," "crank" and "The Expendables," to name a few.

New Statham, "the mechanic" film interprets a trained assassin who takes his former mentor (Ben Foster) child under their protection, is no different. There are lots of action and a lot of kicks in the ass, so his fans like.

When MTV News caught up with Statham, asked if he felt in all typecast and if you will need a good guy role in comedy romantic someday.

"Do you know, it is difficult, because people always keep saying: me, ' only see yourself making action movies?' and I don't know," said Statham. He argued that "is very difficult that one day I might be asked to do something that is quality in a different genre, but the films from different genres are not so good". So I conclude not do them because once you make a mistake in this area, you can not go back." "Therefore, if I go to something else, it is because it is good."

But Foster said co-star not only plays a tough guy on the screen, but rather makes every single performance by infusion with "vulnerability".

"If you're a tough guy, and Jason is the hardest part is showing vulnerability," said Foster. "And is working on 'the bank Job' and The Mechanic here and other films." It brings a lot of quiet heart to it. "" And difficult things because viewers of the film are not looking for, he said. ""But Jason is always being a humanity to [something] behind bullets.
