Review of Wrath of Man (2021) by Joshumms — 29 Apr 2022

Wrath of Man is disappointing. It introduces an interesting plot with great music and cool camera shots but is never interesting or action packed enough to keep you from being bored. The first 30 minutes are enjoyable but then it goes into flashbacks for 45 minutes and introduces a completely different set of characters just to tie the story together.

The flashbacks over complicate the story to the point that you lose interest. The flashbacks drag with the scenes lasting too long and not really adding much to the movie. In the last 30 minutes it all comes together with a climax that never really has enough tension and mediocre action sequences.

I feel like this movie could’ve been better if it was just a fun stupid action thriller about cash trucks or telling the story without spending so long on a random group of characters and tedious flashbacks.

I was very excited for this movie but Ritchie’s direction really didn’t serve the concept as well as I hoped.
