If you don’t want spoilers, you probably shouldn’t watch this trailer. It feels like it pretty much reveals everything but what I assume will be a twist of some sort at the end.
In Wrath of Man, Jason Statham stars as a new cash truck security guard who surprises his coworkers during a heist in which he unexpectedly unleashes precision skills. The marksman’s ultimate motive becomes clear as he takes dramatic and irrevocable steps to settle a score.
The film also stars Holt McCallany, Jeffrey Donovan, Josh Hartnett, Laz Alonzo, Raúl Castillo, Deobia Oparei with Eddie Marsan and Scott Eastwood.
Wrath of Man arrives in theaters on May 7, 2021.
Great to see Holt McCallany in more stuff! His Bill Tench in Mindhunter was awesome. I was pretty surprised when I rewatched Fight Club recently and saw he was in that, too.
I hate seeing the stud protag walking into a room and casually pointing a pistol at multiple dudes and killing them without even really looking at them, never stopping, sure he’s not just hit them with his semi blind shot but also sure that the one shot he fired is also instantly fatal.
And it does look like there’s some secret from Jason Statham’s past that will ultimately be revealed.
I know, I know. I just felt like getting out and Tuesdays the local cinema is $5. Plus, it’s a Guy Ritchie film and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, both with Jason Statham, are two of my favorite films.
They should have called this one Take the Money and Run because I’m sure that’s what Ritchie and Statham did.
Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham really don’t do slow burns. Yet here they are, in Wrath of Man, trying to do slow burns. Ugh.
I did like Jeffrey Donovan a lot. Dude was fascinating in Sicario. In fact, I like to think Sicario was the origins story for his Wrath of Man character.
