Introduction
Jason Statham is back doing exactly what he does best, and Mutiny 2026 puts him on a cargo ship with nowhere to run. Here is the release date and showtimes, the full cast, the age rating, and where to watch it once it opens this week.
Mutiny 2026 Release Date and Showtimes
Mutiny opens in US theaters on Friday, August 21, 2026, distributed by Lionsgate. UK audiences get it the same window through Sky Cinema, distributed via StudioCanal. It runs 95 minutes.
Six other titles open the same weekend, including Insidious: Out of the Further and The Magic Faraway Tree, so Mutiny 2026 showtimes will be competing for screens at most multiplexes — check your local cinema’s listings directly for exact times near you, since national release doesn’t guarantee every location carries every showtime slot.
The film was announced at the 2024 Cannes Film Market with Statham already attached as lead and producer, and Lionsgate pre-acquired North American distribution rights before the market even opened.
What Mutiny Is About
Cole Reed is former Special Forces and a former London Metropolitan Police officer, now working private security for a Thai shipping magnate. When his boss is murdered in front of him, Reed is framed for the killing and boards the victim’s own cargo ship on a one-man crusade to find the real culprit.
What starts as a revenge mission expands fast. While evading both his enemies and the police aboard the ship, Reed discovers a shipping container packed with trafficked people — and the international conspiracy behind the murder turns out to be considerably larger and darker than the crime that put him there.
Cast of Mutiny 2026
- Jason Statham as Cole Reed

- Jason Wong as Taran
- Adrian Lester
- Arnas Fedaravicius, Ramon Tikaram and Chaneil Kular in supporting roles
This is Statham’s second major release of 2026, following January’s Shelter. Pairing him again with director Jean-François Richet is worth noting for genre fans — the two previously teamed up on 2023’s Plane, another confined-space action thriller that performed solidly for the studio.
Behind the Camera
Jean-François Richet directs from a screenplay by Lindsay Michel and J.P. Davis. Richet’s other credits include Blood Father and the two-part Mesrine: Killer Instinct, so contained, muscular action is well within his range. Statham produces alongside Marc Butan through MadRiver Pictures and Punch Palace Productions, with Marcus Trumpp composing the score.
A boss murdered in front of him, a frame-up, and a cargo ship full of people who want him dead. Statham has built a career on exactly this shape of story.
Mutiny 2026 Age Rating Explained
Mutiny carries an R rating from the MPAA, for strong bloody violence and language. Parent-guide sites detailing the Mutiny 2026 age rating cite countless violent encounters aboard the cargo ship — firearms, knives, axes and a spear gun, with visible wounds — alongside roughly 30 uses of strong language and discussion of human trafficking. This is not a film for younger viewers, and the rating reflects that accurately.
Mutiny 2026 Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb
Early notices are mixed to positive, and consistent in tone. Rotten Tomatoes reviews describe a bounty of crunchy carnage that Statham serves with characteristic finesse, while noting convoluted plotting and a grim tone weigh the film down. One critic summed it up bluntly: at this point you have to grade Statham movies on a curve, and Mutiny isn’t “good” by conventional measures, but it’s not as miserable as some of his recent output either.
On IMDb, Mutiny sits at roughly 5.7 out of 10 from around 1,900 ratings at time of writing — a genuinely mixed score rather than a rejection. That figure is best read as a starting point rather than a verdict; individual reviews reveal more about pacing, fight choreography and tone than a single number can.
Mutiny 2026 Budget
Mutiny’s production budget has not been officially disclosed by Lionsgate or MadRiver Pictures. Independent financial trackers list it as a mid-range action thriller budget, broadly in line with Statham’s recent theatrical vehicles rather than a tentpole-scale production. We’ll update this section if an official figure is confirmed.
Where to Watch Mutiny
Mutiny is a theatrical release only right now — it is not on Netflix and has no streaming home yet. Estimated timing based on Lionsgate’s usual release pattern: digital rental and purchase around September 2026, with a DVD and Blu-ray release following in October 2026. Both dates are estimates and have not been officially confirmed, so treat them as a guide rather than a guarantee. We will update this post the moment a platform or date is locked in.
Should You Watch It?
If you go to a Statham film for Statham doing Statham things, this delivers exactly that, and the maritime setting gives the action a claustrophobic edge his films don’t always have. If you want a plot that holds together under scrutiny, temper your expectations — that is consistently the note across early reviews.
At 95 minutes it doesn’t overstay its welcome, which counts for something in this genre.
