Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."Been in restaurants all night and all I got served was lead…" Jason Statham frowns and flashes his torso throughout yet another bone-crunching actioner.
This time the taciturn hunk/lunk plays a washed-up agent who ends up saving a Chinese maths prodigy – who has memorised a code to a precious safe – from a legion of meanies: Triads, Russian mobsters and bent New York cops. It's the sort of lurid, sadistic hokum that Sly and Arnie starred in during the 1980s, but Statham makes for a slightly more endearing hard man.
