Wrath of Man
Rent & Buy
A cold and mysterious new security guard for a Los Angeles cash truck company surprises his co-workers when he unleashes precision skills during a heist. The crew is left wondering who he is and where he came from. Soon, the marksman's ultimate motive becomes clear as he takes dramatic and irrevocable steps to settle a score.
What critics thought
Critics were genuinely split on this Ritchie-Statham reunion: admirers found it a surprisingly dark and disciplined departure from Ritchie's usual cheeky style, while detractors saw a convoluted, meandering thriller that squanders the goodwill of its premise. The action and atmosphere land for some; the thin plotting and sluggish pacing sink it for others.
“Tired, uninspired and meandering, Wrath of Man is a step backward for Ritchie, a step sideways for the stoic-for-life Jason Statham (reteaming with Ritchie for the first time in 16 years) and a misstep for anyone who invests their time and money on 118 minutes of such convoluted and forgettable nonsense.”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“one of [Guy] Ritchie's 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: Legend of the Sword, and the like. In its place is voluptuous darkness, so sinister that you may wonder if its main character is the devil himself”
Matt Zoller Seitz·RogerEbert.com
“A few years ago, when Sam Mendes left the Bond franchise, Ritchie's name was floated as a possible replacement. He didn't take the gig, but Wrath of Man shows that he certainly could have, classing up his signature technique while never quite abandoning the cockney swagger.”
Peter Debruge·Variety
“the film balances multiple storylines with intense action sequences and, despite pacing issues, packs a major punch that will keep audiences riveted.”
