Devon Slater is a man of exceptional determination and discipline. He's also the head of a global corporate empire and has the wealth to back it up. I wanted somebody who, when he's staring you down, you pay attention to what he's saying and watch what you say, because he genuinely has zero fucks to give if you cross him. 

Mr. Statham fit the bill to a T.

Yukiko Ikeda ain't no slouch either. Michelle Yeoh is like a scarier Japanese version of Angelina Jolie.
