Movie musical maestro Bill Condon (director of Dreamgirls and Beauty and the Beast [2017], and screenwriter for Chicago and The Greatest Showman) provides a good stage-to-screen adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman.

But, regrettably, it’s a fact. The latest action caper featuring Jason Statham is not only directed by someone who has…
