Review of Wrath of Man (2021) by Moviemitch96 — 11 May 2021

This film follows an armored truck driver (Jason Statham), who happens to be a skilled assassin that has ulterior motives for joining the security company he's recently been hired for. Directed by Guy Ritchie (who also directed Statham in 'Snatch' and 'Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels'), the film pretty much delivers what anybody familiar with Statham would expect from one of his action flicks, for better or worse.

In my case, I found the story rather convoluted, confusing, and hard to follow often times, and even during moments where that wasn't the case, the film was too busy being predictable. The film's beats always felt too familiar, with only a few moments of genuine thrill or unexpected turns to be found.

Statham commits himself like always to this kind of role, but he's really just playing himself here again. Overall, some exciting shootouts can't fully make up for a predictable but also confusing and scattered storyline.
