Fort Worth Weekly Jason Statham’s middling thriller offers a few familiar comforts. This photo could be from any Jason Statham movie, but it's 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 relative security. He’s also reunited with Guy Ritchie, the director whose star rose in tandem with hi...

Wrath of Man takes revenge on moviegoers with its awfulness Wrath of Man takes revenge on moviegoers with its awfulness Scott Eastwood in Josh Hartnett in Photo courtesy of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures In the 23 years that Guy Ritchie has been making feature films, he has gone through the usual ups-and-downs of most filmmakers. He’s arguably succeeded the most when making films set in his native England, with attempts to expand his reach usually panned. His latest is Wrath of Man, a film so unentertaining that even those who hate Ritchie’s normal style will be wishing he’d go back...

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 that’s a long story), MGM’s Wrath of Man is an unapologetically cruel action thriller. Billed as ...

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 named Patrick "H" Hill (one letter removed from "Hell"). His coworkers at Los Angeles' Fortico arm...

‘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 references. He’s a decent shot, but not so good that it would attract attention. Just another guard on an e...
