THE KINGPIN (2025) – Jason Statham Rules the Underworld with Iron Fists and Cold Justice

He ruled the streets once before — and now he’s back to reclaim his throne, no matter the cost. 

“THE KINGPIN (2025)” is a pulse-pounding action thriller that cements Jason Statham as the undisputed titan of modern crime cinema. Directed by Pierre Morel (Taken), the film is a stylish, relentless dive into the dark heart of the criminal underworld — where loyalty is currency, and betrayal costs blood.

Statham stars as Jack “The Kingpin” Carter, a notorious British crime boss who has left his violent empire behind to live quietly in Spain. But when his estranged brother is brutally murdered in London, Jack is pulled back into the brutal world he tried to escape. The killers leave behind only one message: Stay out — or you’re next.

Determined to avenge his brother and uncover who’s seized control of his former territory, Jack returns to London and finds a city transformed by ruthless new players, including Viktor Petrov, a cold-blooded Russian mobster expanding his influence. As Jack battles his way through betrayals and bloody turf wars, he must decide whether he’s still the king of London — or a relic of a dying era.

“THE KINGPIN” is a showcase for Statham’s trademark charisma and bone-crunching combat skills. Brutal fight sequences unfold in neon-lit nightclubs, sleek office towers, and grimy back alleys, choreographed with raw intensity. But the film also digs deeper, revealing the personal cost of Jack’s past life and the emptiness that comes with power.

With fast-paced storytelling, a pounding electronic soundtrack, and an electrifying supporting cast including Rosamund Pike as an ambitious detective and Cillian Murphy as a rival gangster, “THE KINGPIN (2025)” delivers a stylish, high-stakes ride that proves Jason Statham is still the king of cinematic badassery.
