Strap in and clock in—this is the shift from hell, and we get a front-row seat. The Working Man 2: Overtime picks up the gloriously simple, brutally effective formula of its predecessor and launches it 100 stories into the sky. Jason Statham returns as Arthur “The Wrench,” a man whose quiet competence and lethal calm are once again violently interrupted, this time in the gleaming, glass-and-steel prison of a Dubai mega-scraper. The premise is action-movie perfection: an elite cadre of cyber-terrorists has seized the building, expecting to face SWAT teams and hackers. They did not expect a maintenance man with the soul of a Spartan and an encyclopedic knowledge of load-bearing points and electrical systems.

Statham is in his absolute element here, wielding everyday power tools with the devastating flair of medieval weaponry. Watching him turn a nail gun into a rapid-fire deterrent or a reciprocating saw into an instrument of pure terror is a visceral, inventively choreographed delight. He is perfectly matched by Sydney Sweeney’s Clara, a hacker who is far more than a damsel in distress. Sweeney brings a sharp, frantic intelligence and a compelling vulnerability to the role, creating a genuine and electric partnership with Statham’s stoic warrior. Their survival is a high-altitude chess game of wits and wrenches against overwhelming technological force.

The film soars on its commitment to practical-feeling stunts and its gleeful defiance of physics. The dizzying sense of verticality is palpable, making every catwalk brawl and elevator shaft descent a heart-in-throat experience. It all crescendos in a helicopter takedown finale of such audacious, gravity-defying spectacle that it earns every decibel of the audience’s cheers. With a 9.8/10, Overtime is the ultimate popcorn blockbuster—a brilliantly executed, no-frills adrenaline shot. It understands that sometimes, the most satisfying hero isn’t a super-soldier or a billionaire vigilante, but the guy who can fix the AC… and use the same tools to dismantle an army. Pure, unadulterated action bliss.
