Review of Wrath of Man (2021) by Jondoc — 26 Jul 2021

First-rate revenge movie. Gritty, dark and violent, with a very satisfying narrative arc ~ it’s a man’s movie, like something Eastwood would make in the 70s, not everyone’s cup of tea but much better than I was expecting, and I was expecting a lot from the always improving Guy Richie and the great Jason Statham ~ who has become one of the biggest movie stars in the world right now.

Everything about this movie was high brow and stylish ~ it felt like a GTA heist mission written by Paul Shrader and directed by Martin Scorsese. The lighting, camera movements, soundtrack, casting, plot twists, fire fights ~ the whole production values were A1 and the plot felt cohesive and felt all very grown up.

Loved it. Bravo to all involved.
