  Jason Statham tells Post Malone to suck his own dick. Ten stars.

  Review by davidehrlich ★★

  The weirdest thing about Guy Ritchie’s “Wrath of Man” isn’t that his new meathead heist movie tries to combine the tricksy plotting of “Snatch” (which he made) with the ice-cold steeliness of “Heat” (which he most definitely did not), or that the entire story hinges on the protagonist buying two burritos from the wrong food truck. It’s not that one of the major action set pieces is set to an industrial dubstep remix of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” nor even the undeniable fact that it kind of works. No, the weirdest thing about “Wrath of Man” is that one of the leads is named Bullet, but it’s not the one played by Jason Statham — the most bullet-shaped actor…

  Wrath of Man is Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie at the top of their game, but it doesn't feel quite like a game they've played before. Sure, the narrative is overtly familiar, a revenge story mixed with the tactical violence of a bank heist movie, but the structure effortlessly maneuvers through tired dramatic beats. It brings the viewer to unique perspectives of scenarios we may have already seen, and much of the tension is not from the action itself, although it's still hard-hitting, bruising stuff, but the unfolding psychology of Statham's H: a man who begins as a blank slate, a mere cover for a harrowing history. He provides a great performance here. It may not all be fully…

  Review by matt lynch ★★★

  Somehow Guy Ritchie's 2nd or 3rd best movie. A total structural mess for no good reason, full of his Brit-gangster adolescent machismo, wildly stacked cast, and some of the tightest action of his entire career. I think I liked it?

  Review by Josh Lewis ★★★ 8

  Has all the makings of a logistics-based heist movie (overtly cribbing from both Heat and Ocean's 11) with lots of plan/execution expository editing and slick suspense setpieces that Ritchie then complicates and scrambles into this really macho nasty revenge movie. I've seen some complaints of this being dour but honestly, I found the absurdly grim, cruel mood of this to be its greatest asset. It takes some really dark detours into torture sequences and child porn dungeons and brain-matter-covered surfaces, and after a while, these scenes really started to rub against the slick genre machinery of the editing structure in a way that was more interesting than I expected. Really felt the tension of sitting around and waiting for these…

  Guy Ritchie hates musicians. Post Malone gets shot in the face and then Johnny Cash is dismembered. I blame Madonna.

  „Wrath of Man“ wird in Deutschland „Cash Truck“ heißen, vermutlich weil der zuständige Verleih Sorgen hat, das hiesige Publikum könne das Wort „Wrath“ an der Kinokasse nicht richtig aussprechen. Nun ist „Wrath of Man“ natürlich auch keine kreative Sonderleistung, aber „Cash Truck“ ist auch deshalb ein besonders beschissener Titel, weil er im Gegensatz zum Originalnamen das zentrale Thema des Films komplett verfehlt.

  Guy Ritchies Neuer kündigt sich nämlich schon im Trailer als Film an, der er gar nicht ist. Jason Statham stampft in den 2 Minuten mit gewohnt lakonischer Coolness durch die Szenerie, zischt seinen Gegnern knackige Oneliner um die Ohren und erfüllt dann boxend und tretend gängige Machofantasien. Das wirkt so vertraut, man könnte meinen einen der ähnlich aussagekräftig…

  Review by Nakul ★★★★ 8

  Wrath of Man is not your typical Guy Ritchie gangster movie but oh so good, anyone wanting more than it says on the tin will be pleasantly surprised. Familiar plot elevated by a wonderfully solid piece of genre filmmaking. This is a stripped down, hard knuckled heist/revenge thriller, enjoyable in it's own brooding, muscular way with flashes of violence and high body count. Christopher Benstead's score was fantastic. It's Jason Statam's best film & performance in a long, long time. Scott Eastwood is so good in this. How is he not a bigger star? This guy should be headlining big action movies.

  This would make a terrific double-bill with Den of Thieves.

  Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham go together like strippers and OnlyFans during the global pandemic.

  Wrath of Man is a no bullshit action film. It has a ‘90s throwback vibe and it never lets off the gas once the movie starts rolling. Statham is an action terminator, and in my opinion, he delivers his best performance to date. 

  Guy Ritchie is back on his A game with Wrath of Man and The Gentlemen. The action sequences and the dialogue are fantastic. The film is close to flawless for me. Check it out!

  I was pleased not to have to write specifically about this movie because I wasn't in the mood to deconstruct why it works so well. It's amazing and tense. It fucking shreds. Isn't that enough? For once I didn't have to think overlong about character and whether or not I liked anyone or cared about their journey. Unlike Revolver it's not that kind of movie. Ritchie's in shark mode here, which revealed something kind of interesting about him. In his lad movies (The Gentlemen, RocknRolla, even Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) there's the ever-present threat of homosexuality among his gangsters. It's coyly redacted (Gerard Butler begrudgingly dancing with Tom Hardy) but nevertheless whenever anyone wants to…

  By the third awful line designed to humiliate anyone who isn't a straight white male I was certain each of the three male writers has a micropenis and a terrible personality.
