“This is a creaky old dinosaur. This girl should have been retired 10 years ago.” That’s a doomed security guard talking about a weather-beaten armoured car in the latest bloody action film from Guy Ritchie. But it’s also an easy opening for Ritchie and actor Jason Statham to flex their ageing chops, as if to say, “Hey, there’s some life in us yet!” And by the end of this nearly two-hour crime drama, a remake of the 2004 French thriller “Le Convoyeur,” the director and star, both in their 50s, seem reinvigorated, albeit at a slower — and more effective — pace than one mi...

Guy Ritchie films. WRATH OF MAN is top 3 Guy Ritchie. Maybe his best. I only sometimes like his movies but this is the real deal. pic.twitter.com/Ve6i4i7kvt TV and film podcaster Nicola Austin shared that she was compelled and impressed while watching the film.  Was pleasantly surprised by Guy Ritchie’s #WrathofMan, a stylishly dark thriller featuring a revenge fuelled Jason Statham.

Patrick Hill (Statham) may come from an unspectacular background in the private security sector, but his partner (McCallany) soon learns that Hill is unafraid to kill anyone who stands bet...

In Theaters: 05.07 After a few too many mega-budget Hollywood franchise projects that got away from him, director Guy Ritchie made a rollicking return to form 2020's The Gentleman. It’s a wickedly entertaining caper movie that took him back to his roots. Wrath of Man reteams the director with his old collaborator, Jason Statham, but sadly, it's missing the most crucial element of a Guy Ritchie film—namely, fun.  In Wrath of Man, Statham plays Patrick Hill—or "H," as he is dubbed by a fellow guard ("Like the bomb, or Jesus H.”)—a mysterious and wild-eyed new security guard for a...
