A Working Man Ending Explained




A Working Man, the most recent joint venture between Jason Statham and David Ayer, is a lighthearted adaptation of Chuck Dixon's 2014 novel Levon's Trade that draws inspiration from other one-man-army films like Taken and John Wick. While it won't receive any Oscar nominations, A Working Man is a well-executed version of Jason Statham's usual action fare and debuted to positive Rotten Tomatoes scores, continuing his recent hot streak. In addition to Michael Peña and David Harbour, Sylvester Stallone co-wrote the screenplay with Ayer and serves as the film's producer.

Despite having a distinguished history as a top-tier paramilitary soldier, Levon Cade works a new career, much like a number of Statham's characters. In A Working Man, he serves as the beloved leader of a construction crew for a family-oriented businessman (Peña), to whom he is devoted and who is aware of his work experience. After his boss's daughter is abducted by human traffickers, he is called into action and starts slashing, punching, and shooting his way through a local Russian Mafia sect in order to obtain information.

However, he incites the anger of the Brotherhood, the larger Mafia organization that controls the drug and trafficking operations that Levon has interfered with, as he manipulates and eliminates mobsters. At the trap house where his boss's daughter is being held, Levon faces off against the combined strength of the local hitmen and dealers after they send their own insane hitmen after him.

Why Levon Was Allowed to Live by the Brotherhood

As Leon indiscriminately killed his way through the mobsters, he disrupted the overall business of the local Mafia sect. While he was not shy about only being after Jenny Garcia, played by Arianna Rivas, he killed enough low-level and mid-level henchmen to warrant the attention of the Brotherhood leadership. It was their decision to send Nestor and Karp, the two trench-coat-clad assassins, after Levon; they are the ones who track his identity and tie him back to his father-in-law's house, which they burn down in an attempt to draw him out.

But after the former military man murders all of the Russian mobsters' associates, including the two hitmen at the trap house, the Brotherhood calls Yuri and orders her to release Levon. There was no point in chasing him any farther now that he had saved the girl he was after. Levon was once threatened, but it was better for the organization to let him live in peace rather than "erasing his entire bloodline" because there is no money in retaliation, especially when it comes to someone who has shown themselves to be as dangerous as Levon.

The Reasons Yuri Is Still Seeking Levon

Levon is able to murder a disproportionate number of criminals of all ranks during his rampage. His brother and sons, specifically, were directly related to Yuri, as were the two thugs he murders in the back of the van and the underboss Jason Flemyng, whom he slaps and drowns in his own pool. In the last moments of A Working Man, Yuri informs the Brotherhood leadership that he still plans to kill Levon and the people he cares about in order to exact revenge on his deceased family members.

Jenny Garcia Was Kidnapped: Why?

Jenny was abducted as a result of Dimi's trafficking operation's peculiar methods. Viper and Artemis are in charge of filming and photographing young girls at the club where Jenny and her friends were having a good time. They then send the photos to potential buyers, who select the girls they want. The girls then vanish after Viper and Artemis carry out the kidnapping covertly.

The slovenly Mr. Broward chose Jenny because he thought she looked like a woman he had seen in a painting. It had nothing to do with her father, his company, or any other meaningful relationship; that was the only explanation. Thankfully, Jenny managed to repel Broward during their initial encounter by disfiguring and biting his face, and Levon killed Broward before he had another opportunity to torture her.

How A Working Man's Demise Preps A Sequel

Similar to Lee Childs' Jack Reacher series, Chuck Dixon's series, which chronicles Levon Cade's adventures, includes the novel that serves as the basis for A Working Man. If A Working Man turns out to be a big enough box office success to justify a sequel, there are plenty of other sources to draw from. Although Ayer and Statham's last action film, The Beekeeper, did the same, it is unclear if A Working Man will do the same with viewers.

Thankfully, A Working Man had already planted the seeds for a franchise. Yuri is obviously still out for blood, even though the Brotherhood may not want to interact with Levon Cade any more. It should be fairly clear that Yuri's quest for Levon Cade would be the main focus of a direct sequel to A Working Man. Given that Levon murdered his brother and sons, it would seem inevitable that he would attempt to target his daughter Merry as well.

What The Director Has To Say About A Working Man's Demise

Writer/director David Ayer explained in detail what makes A Working Man unique among action films in an interview with ScreenRant. What makes the entire film unique, according to Ayer, is how realistic characters give Levon an emotional, familial bond. According to the filmmaker, "...to give him an emotional motivation, to give him this adopted family that's taken care of him that he can then return the favor and take care of, I mean, that's the movie for me."

Ayer also discussed the franchise's possible future, mentioning that Levon Cade might have "unfinished business"—a reference to Yuri's impending retaliation. He also alluded to his personal interest in Gunny, the blind former teammate of Levon played by David Harbour as his "weapons sommelier" in A Working Man. Naturally, nothing has been revealed as of yet, but Ayer said that a prequel or sequel that focuses more on Gunny might be intriguing.

What A Working Man Actually Means

While some genre films use metaphors to convey their themes, A Working Man lacks depth, much like other action films. There is a recurring theme of loyalty to one's family and the notion that family can take many different forms. Levon views Gunny as his brother because they served together, and he views the Garcias as his family because they took a chance on him and provided him with a means of support despite his previous career path and associated trauma. Levon in A Working Man is motivated by this familial loyalty, which is also what could motivate Yuri in a possible follow-up.
