With actor Jason Statham's new giant-shark movie, "The Meg," in theaters this weekend, we've looked back at the action star's filmography to see which of his movies are the best — and worst.

Turns out, he's been in a lot of bad movies, at least according to critics. But he's also one of Hollywood's most consistent leading men in action movies, and is synonymous with the genre.

We ranked all of Statham's movies based on Rotten Tomatoes critic scores, and broke any ties with audience scores. We didn't include movies where he is listed in uncredited roles on IMDb, and his 2005 movie "Chaos" didn't have a critic score.

Below are 38 Jason Statham movies, ranked from worst to best according to critics:

38. "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale" (2008)

Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 4%

Description: "A man named Farmer sets out to rescue his kidnapped wife and avenge the death of his son – two acts committed by the Krugs, a race of animal-warriors who are controlled by the evil Gallian."

37. "Turn It Up" (2000)

Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 8%

Audience score: 28%

Description: "Turn It Up is an explosive contemporary drama about a gifted musician's struggle to rise above the crime-plagued urban streets and realize his dream. Diamond ("Pras" of the Fugees and Mystery Men) is unwittingly drawn into the world of drug-running by his childhood friend Gage (rapper Ja Rule, Backstage). The sudden death of Diamond's mother, and the untimely pregnancy of his girlfriend, force Diamond to make hard choices about his life and the people around him. His estranged father (Vondie Curtis Hall, Eve's Bayou, Gridlock'd, T.V.'s Chicago Hope) re-enters Diamond's life looking for reconciliation. Diamond devotes himself to his music and finds support and true inspiration in unexpected places."

36. "13" (2011)

Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 8%

Audience score: 34%

Description: "A naïve young man assumes a dead man's identity in order to join an underground game of Russian roulette. He finds himself embroiled in an underworld labyrinth of power, violence, and luck. The stakes are high, but the payout is more than he can resist. His only collateral is his life and however long his luck can hold. Are his odds any better than any other player in this most deadly game?"
