My wife and I quite enjoyed this movie. It's incredibly well plotted and amazingly no other reviewer has pointed out the numerous nods to Michael Mann's Heat (1992) and his camera work.

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 expectingFirst-rate revenge movie.

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.… Expand

Wrath of Man is a decent heist actioner. It doesn’t have a lot of the witty banter director Guy Ritchie is renowned for but it does have a brooding intensity.

Statham is Statham. The rest of the performances are great. Good to see Josh Hartnett in this sort of film. The movie Wrath of Man most reminded me of is Den of Thieves. It is not as clever in its twists and turns as that movie but if you want some good action you could do a lot worse. Recommended.… Expand

Very brutal but sometimes even interesting. I do not understand who might be interested in such a plot.

His latest film “Wrath of Man” for which he also helped write; focuses on a man named H (Jason Statham) who is given the unique moniker by his trainer when he is hired to work for an Armored Transport company.

The Soft-Spoken H barely qualifies for his job based on his assessment testing, but when his shipment is hit during his initial run; he shows uncanny skills and deadly precision as he eliminated the robbers.

While this makes him a hero at work; there are those who think he actually enjoys it and is hiding something.

The film cleverly jumps a few months ahead and then backward before resuming the story as we learn more about H’s past and how he earned those skills and what is motivating the darkness inside him to strike back at all attempted robberies of his shipments with extreme prejudice.

This all leads to an interesting confrontation as various elements and factions converge to make for a complicated but action-filled finale.

The film is actually lighter on action than I expected as while there is a good amount of it at times, it is spaced out, and do not expect to see Statham using the fighting skills he has shown in “The Expendables:” “Crank” and “Transporter” series as he is happy to let his guns do the bulk of his action sequences.

The film does drag in places as while it has a solid supporting cast with Scott Eastwood, Josh Hartnett, and others, cast members such as Andy Garcia barely appear in the film, and elements of his relationship with H are missing.

H has an interesting backstory but it is never fully developed in a way that gives the audience a satisfying explanation. We know elements of who he was and why he is doing things but there are deeper questions that are left unanswered.

I also kept waiting for a big twist or the trademark humor that is associated with many of Ritchie’s films which I believe was needed to fully round out this film.

I can overlook some leaps of logic during the finale and at various points as those are necessary to make films of this type of work, but some of them just seemed like taking the easy way out and not offering even a rudimentary explanation.

In the end “Wrath of Man” lacks the sustained action that fans may expect as well as the complex and gripping plots that are the hallmark of good drama.

The film is an at times entertaining hybrid that does some things very well; just not enough of them to really make this one stand out.

3.5 stars out of 5.

Like any Guy Ritchie film, it has a nicely crafted script and keeps you guessing through the movie, it has a good pay off at the end.

I'm a Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham fan, so this was a no-brainer for me. Certainly not my favorite Ritchie movie, but I got caught up in the plot and the multi-pov way he told the story.

Wildly entertaining as long as you don't think about it too much. Great action scenes, plenty of double-crosses. Revenge is a dish best served cold. I enjoyed this movie more than I care to admit, but I sure hope to see something better this year.

Some good heist moments, but it is so poorly paced and (randomly?) messy. Statham is good.

The tone for which he's quite known is there, but this time it feels sullen, somewhat disconnected, and that's compounded by Jason Statham's poor acting range, and the far-fetched script, especially when considering the simplicity of the events that unleashed the main issue.

I wasn't sure I would give it all three stars, but I do it mostly because it works at entertaining despite its details.
However, I can't help but emphasize that Ritchie feels stagnant again, considering that he came from delivering a film as fun and relaxed as The Gentlemen.

There are worse, much worse options in the genre, and although that does not justify its weaknesses, its strengths are enough to differentiate it.… Expand

Expected worse, but I really liked the movie. The heroes cause real feelings of disgust and sympathy. There is some incomprehensibility at the end but still, the movie is worth watching

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A fun action movie with a lot of actors I like. It just has one big problem.

The finale heist has no exit plan. The characters are fully aware they aren't all going to make it out, but they forget that if even one of them is identified the entire group is going down. These characters are shown to be family men, and are supposedly doing this for them, yet they almost go into this as a suicide mission.

That's where it's stuck with me. Not really (actively) rewatchable with this, to me, glaring plothole.… Expand

Awful script. Awful plot. Plot holes everywhere. What brainlet gave this garbage anything higher than a star needs his head checked. All my friends fell asleep or traded crypto the whole time. More concerning is the fact that reviews are faked on many sites; the movie they are discussing is not even this movie. Where there is bots posting reviews there is a trail of money. Someone knew this movie would tank and is proping up its corpse. Only good thing about this movie was seeing the naked miner from the Chernobyl series only problem was here he was playing an office worker and he had all his clothes on. Post malones cameo terrible acting aside was better than anything we were given in this movie. Ok bye.… Expand

Shockingly bad movie, nothing like Guy Richies other movies. Horrible acting, terrible dialogue. Very sad to see Josh Harnett come back to the mainstream for such a bad role. Zero redeeming factors, do not watch.

Statham plays his typical sternThis is the first time that Jason Statham and director Guy Ritchie have teamed up since their series of edgy films in the early 2000s. Sadly, this outing has less of the snap and sass as their earlier collabs. Statham plays his typical stern silent type, who’s hired as a security guard for a cash transportation company. Of course, he shocks everyone (but the audience) when his truck is hijacked and he quickly dispatches the crooks. As expected, his real identity surfaces and things get complicated…but not very interesting. There’s an elaborate heist that forms the crux of the last act, but it’s not especially original. Ultimately, a film like this is about the action and this one is unimpressive. Ritchie’s typical sharp dialogue, snappy editing and frenetic violence are in short supply, leaving a bland caper flick with lots of noisy gun fights and a lackluster Statham.… Expand

Directed by Guy Ritchie (who also directed Statham inThis 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.… Expand

Neither Ritchie or Statham's best or most unique outing. Wrath of Man is still a solid thriller that isn't quite as paint by the numbers as it could have been.
Quite enjoyable

Its such a trash movie that even Jason statham couldn't carry the movie with pure action.
There is no story no good characters no anything.

But it didn't take long for the plot to get a bit confusing. At least for me. The story actually starts jumping from the present to the past, where the past goes to the future, but still not to the present, until in the finale we get to the present again and I just believe I've already messed with your brain with this one. It probably doesn't even make much sense, and I apologize for that. I just want to say that it jumped around a bit too much here and there in different storylines in my opinion. I'm not saying the movie didn't make sense or anything. This is purely my opinion and my problem that I couldn't get my bearings a little bit here and there. The pacing also fluctuated quite a bit and not much happened for quite some time, but the ending made up for it with some awesome action. As for the story, it's good, just as I mentioned a bit worse timed. To sum it all up. The Angry Man is a good film for me to recommend. It kind of sounds like I'm bashing it here, but I'm not. I'm just mentioning here the biggest problem I had with the film. Otherwise, I was satisfied in the final analysis.… Expand

The most compelling parts are the first act and third act that I enjoyed a lot. This movie never gets boring. It's full of suspense, tension, and action that will keep you watching.

There are two stories going in parallel that come together in the 3rd act. There is betrayal and twists and the movie is dark.

Jason Statham is brilliant as always in action movies. His character development was excellent. He is a kinda dark, serious, and cool character. He looks comfortable in his role.

The use of panning shots is very well done in the first act. Good lighting, script, and acting. The supporting cast was quite good.… Expand

It tries desperately to be Heat, but the gunplay and heist planning and characterization doesn't square up. Instead it winds up being more like Taken, with a better protagonist but just as ludicrous in the end -- actually, worse than Taken in some regards, because the ending isn't as satisfying.… Expand
