Movie Review – Wrath of Man

TL;DR

If you like Jason Statham, and/or the director Guy Ritchie, then you’re bound to enjoy this movie. I don’t think Wrath of Man will go down for either as their best work, but neither disappoints.

There’s a lot to like in this movie, but at the same time it’s hard to watch because of the violent realism. Of course everyone has their own threshold for enjoying violence. This movie went right up to the limit of what I personally can tolerate.

To me, the best part of the movie is the character building during the first 45 minutes or so. H (Jason Statham) barely says a word, yet we learn a great deal about him. Credit the writers on that.

The story is non-linear. There are many time jumps, both forward and backward. Each transition is preceded by an on-screen cue, so you don’t have to guess where we are in the story. However, I would question if adding time jumps was the best decision, as it robs the story of impending tension if we already know what happens, and then find out how and why it happened.

This movie definitely has Guy Ritchie’s touch of realism all over it. It’s dark, gritty and ultra violent.

I have to wonder if this story was written with Jason Statham in mind in the lead role, because it’s a perfect match for the type of character Jason inevitably portrays. Just once I’d like to see a movie where Jason acts outside of his comfort zone of the badass, cold hearted, killer role. Maybe he’s made a movie like that, but I’ve never heard of it.

Grade: B

About The Peetimes: I have 3 Peetimes for you spaced out nicely through the movie. I would recommend the 2nd Peetime. You won’t miss any action or plot development. The 3rd Peetime is for Emergency use only because there is a major plot reveal, however it is the last scene before the end movie action begins.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Wrath of Man. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)

Movie Watching Must Have!!

I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂

Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
