510. Wrath of Man. The one-man army, Jason Statham, is here to take on the armored truck business, and I thought it was pretty weird!! When I saw the trailer for it, I heard directed by Guy Ritchie, starring Statham, revenge, I was like, I'm in, unfortunately I also heard 'death of my son', which ruins the first twist of the movie, because the whole first act is Statham's character 'H' and his first day on the job at the armored truck facility and setting up a situation that we as the audience already know why. That is all I heard from the trailer; I am sure it gives more away. I won't though, going off that, we know H infiltrates the company to figure out who committed a robbery on one of the trucks that resulted in the death of an innocent by-stander... H's son! And as he investigates, man the plot just thickens! Think of the older Guy Ritchie movies, mixed with a bit of Ocean's Eleven, take away the humor, now throw in a dash of Fast and Furious. Why did I find it weird, mainly the first act and H's first day on the job, his new co-workers are over the top openly hostile towards him, and there's so much 12 year old boy locker room humor, and macho man stuff happening it was strange, and the fact that the workers seem to treat this job like they're going into war, and they might not see each other at 5pm clock out time, maybe they were shooting some metaphors at us, nahhhhh. It is a revenge flick, that gives us a larger story than most of the movies in the same genre, I just found a lot of it a little too convenient and easily spotted some plot holes, but who cares, explosions! Am I right? Filmbufftim on FB.
