Guy Ritchie's Best Action Movie in 20 Years Proves Jason Statham Is Actually a Great Actor

Guy Ritchie's Best Action Movie in 20 Years Proves Jason Statham Is Actually a Great Actor




With Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham movies, it's easy to assume if you've seen one, you've seen them all. On the surface, 2021's Wrath of Man looks no different: just another revenge thriller from the English filmmaker and his action movie mainstay. Ostensibly, it has the ingredients of a Heat-lite (Warm?) heist movie: armored trucks, masked robbers, hard-edged criminals, and a taciturn antihero with a score to settle. But beneath all this familiar framework, Ritchie and Statham have stripped the genre — and the very nature of their collaborative relationship — down to the studs. The result? A tightly wound character study that re-frames Statham's typecast persona as we know it. It's the best thing either one of them has done in years.
