LG sells its G5 phone with a lot of Jason Stathams and a little exaggeration - CNET

The mere idea of a whole world of Jason Stathams might fill some with queasiness. So might this ad, as it rushes through scenarios in which the G5's bits are featured.

Here's Statham on the subway. There's Statham in drag. And there's Statham robbing a bank.

It's all frightfully exciting.

What's slightly less exciting is that he appears to insert each of the different modules with ease and then use the phone straight away.

This isn't quite how the G5 works. In fact, every time you insert a module, you have to wait for the phone to start up again.

Indeed, my colleague Lynn La described the modular design in her review as "not fully realized."

This ad, then, is a Statham of intent, rather than a Statham of actual fact.
