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. 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.… 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. Jason Statham isn’t in kick-butt action mode here - it is more about gun fights.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. Jason Statham isn’t in kick-butt action mode here - it is more about gun fights. 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

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.

This is a really well made action movie, well scripted, well paced and well acted. The cinematography is also really well done. Jason Statham gives a good performance as always, quiet and composed he portrays his character excellently. LikeThis is a really well made action movie, well scripted, well paced and well acted. The cinematography is also really well done. Jason Statham gives a good performance as always, quiet and composed he portrays his character excellently. 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. One of the best films I've seen this year and more entertaining than most of the mindless popcorn flicks that Hollywood churn out.… Expand

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.

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

‪I enjoyed the movie from the beginning to the end. It makes a nice balance of action, while still telling the overall story. It's so worth the watch.

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

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

Mięsiste, męskie kino akcji pełne napakowanych testosteronem bohaterów. Główna historia może nie jest zbytnio odkrywcza jednak rekompensowana jest przez akcję

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

Quality stuff. Seems a bit like a couple of other LA robbery flicks, but the twist is welcomed....
