Does Statham have an "American" accent? I just assumed he's played a Brit in everything he's ever done, or has he joined the Sean Connery/Liam Neeson/Sean Bean this-is-just-the-way-they-talk-deal-with-it club.
I'll need to check it out when I get home as its bugging me now, but he was definitely trying to put on some kind of accent in the original Transporter (and possibly the second one) as it is frequently at the top of various "worst movie accents ever" lists. I tried finding a clip on youtube, but all of them are from the 3rd one which I haven't seen, but he just has his regular accent in that so either he just forgot to do it or they realised it was diabolical and retconned it.
