CST_ United Artists Releasing presents a film directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Ritchie, Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies, based on the film “Le Convoyeur.” Rated R (for strong violence throughout, pervasive language, and some sexual references). Running time: 118 minutes. Now showing at local theaters. Spoiler alert: We don’t. Tired, uninspired and meandering, “Wrath of Man” is a step backward for Ritchie, a step sideways for the stoic-for-life Jason Statham (reteam...

The Times is committed to reviewing theatrical film releases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because moviegoing carries risks during this time, we remind readers to follow health and safety guidelines as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Guy Ritchie’s “Wrath of Man” has a proper opening credits sequence, with classical illustrations of angels, lions and other dramatic biblical scenes juxtaposed over slow-motion images of anguished men, bass strings groaning r...

Fort Worth Weekly Jason Statham’s middling thriller offers a few familiar comforts. This photo could be from any Jason Statham movie, but its from "Wrath of Man." Sometimes in life, you just want to see Jason Statham shooting people. My last few movie reviews have required me to be quite serious and conscientious indeed, but Statham’s new movie Wrath of Man promises the comforts of the time before this global plague, when you could watch his shoot-em-up action features in relat...

Wrath Of Man’ Review: An Overly Convoluted Actioner Share to Facebook © 2021 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Inc. All Rights Reserved Arbitrary twists and turns only serve to make this otherwise enjoyable (and expectedly violent) revenge thriller more complicated and less compelling than it needs to be. In what is easily the nastiest, meanest major studio theatrical release at least since Russell Crowe’s Unhinged kinda-sorta kicked off the Covid-era recovery (not really, but thatâ€...

A star vehicle for Jason Statham at his meanest, "Wrath of Man" is one of Guy Ritchies best-directed movies—and one of his most surprising, at least in terms of style and tone. Gone is the jumpy, busy, lighthearted, buzzed-bloke-in-a-pub-telling-you-a-tale vibe of film like "Snatch," "RocknRolla," "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” "King Arthur," and the like. In its place is voluptuous darkness, so sinister that you may wonder if its main character is the devil himself.  This character is n...

‘Wrath of Man’ Review: Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham Reunite for Impressive Crime Thriller Variety 5/6/2021 When H shows up for work in Guy Ritchie’s “Wrath of Man,” no one at Fortico Security has much reason to suspect he might have any motive other than protecting the cash for the armored-truck outfit. The new guy — who looks an awful lot like the bald bloke from the “Crank” and “Transporter” movies — doesn’t waste words. His backstory checks out, as do his reference...
