A Working Man, from Amazon MGM Studios, will be available for purchase on 4K UHD ™, Blu-ray ™ and DVD on June 10th, 2025.

4K UHD Blu-ray Verdict: Warner Bros. Entertainment is expanding their 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray catalog offerings this month with the release of the hotly anticipated A Working Man (4K Ultra HD + Digital) in the expansive 4K Ultra HD video format this June 10th, 2025.

For my money, this A Working Man (4K Ultra HD + Digital) sharpness takes a fairly large step forward from others in their 4K Ultra HD catalog and even comes with HDR (High Dynamic Range) for the complete 4K Ultra HD experience, of course.

So, what we have is A Working Man presented to us as a one-disc with a sheet for a Digital HD Copy. Other stand out points you should know are: Codec: HEVC / H.265 (62.90 Mbps), Resolution: Native 4K (2160p), HDR: HDR10 Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 and Original aspect ratio: 2.39:1.

Featuring Dolby Vision and HDR10 for brighter, deeper, and way more lifelike colors, as with most all 4K UHDs, everything that we watch features these qualities - but somehow, this film gloriously shines within them all.

Noticeably crisp with the overall clarity receiving an obvious boost here on this release, what is more is that it is enjoyably noticeable. For as well as some new nuances to the somewhat drab palette courtesy of Dolby Vision, we also get to witness sudden bright pops of color, which makes the eyes draw in, for sure.

One of those moments comes early on and I shall call it The Construction Site Battle, which is where Statham holds the shotgun sideways - like a legit gangster - before unleashing his badass self!

As for the audio, well we get the plentiful choice of: English: Dolby Atmos English: Dolby TrueHD 7.1 (48kHz, 24-bit), English: Dolby Digital 5.1 (640 kbps), Spanish: Dolby Digital 5.1 (640 kbps) and Audio descriptive.

Overall, this is a very strong 4K HDR Blu-ray presentation, and, for the most part, the audio track remains fairly similar to its DTS-HD counterpart; with much of the action occupying the surrounds with outstanding directionality and placement where effects flawlessly pan between the sides and rears.

As for the film itself, well, the best way to describe A Working Man is to say that it is imperfectly very good. I do have a couple of issues with it, but all in all I have to say that I did enjoy this to a fairly strong degree. Jason Statham seldom disappoints in an action thriller. But I’m a fan of his so was always likely to get the required fun out of this, in truth.

Statham is great, naturally without him the movie would be vastly less entertaining. Away from the former British diver (still can’t quite believe that’s the same guy!), there are too many characters - which is one of the issues I have. There didn’t need to be so many main characters here, in my humble opinion, but it is what it is.

Regardless, those onscreen are all decent enough and none register as overtly negative in my mind. David Harbour does well in a small role although he genuinely seems to only speak the same weird-language way in most all his roles, but perhaps this one is minorly different, I guess. Michael Peña and Arianna Rivas are solid, as too is Jason Flemyng.

The latter’s character should’ve been the only bad guy in this, or at least one of a few. He gives enough that we didn’t need anyone else in my opinion, especially as higher-up’s Andrej Kaminsky and Maximilian Osinski give weaker performances. Chidi Ajufo is the best of the rest though, for sure.

My other issue lies with the run time. I guess with so many characters it did need to be almost two hours in length, however you could’ve told this story within 90 minutes. But again, as noticeable as that and the other issue is, it at least doesn’t hinder the brilliant movie viewing experience as the film, overall, is a rather solid 9/10 for me.

In closing, A Working Man isn’t groundbreaking, but for fans of action films or Jason Statham in particular, it’s very much worth a watch. Even if it follows a familiar formula, it delivers enough punch and intensity to make for a very enjoyable ride.
