Wrath of Man (2021) – Movie Review
guy richard and jason state some joined
forces once again for rats of man
an action thriller based on the 2004
french film
car struck the two had previously
collaborated on the classic crime
comedies
lock stock and two smoking barrels and
snatch with both films being responsible
for making them household names but
they’d found significantly less success
in 2005
with their third collaboration revolver
which most viewers agreeing that the
film felt like a step backwards
from the highs of the previous two their
latest effort seems to land somewhere in
between
hi guys michael avayami here and today
i’m reviewing rats of man
the new action thriller from guy ritchie
in rats of man jason stitson plays h a
new recruits as a security company
his job is to help protect the millions
of dollars that gets transported through
them daily
but after he single-handedly helps
prevent a robbery on one of their
bullying bans
he gains a new sense of respect from his
teammates except h isn’t looking for
respect
he’s looking for revenge and this has
led him right where he needs to be
now he’s barreling towards his goal with
anyone standing in his way shaking with
fear
you can pretty much tell what to expect
from a film like rather man
from his title alone and guy richie
takes the same no-frills approach with
other aspects of the film as well
he lacks much of the signature humor
from his earlier films leaning instead
on jason’s statement stone cold resolve
to carry much of the film unfortunately
his character comes across as two one
notes for my like him
making his heart to truly root for him
on his quest for revenge
the film still has some other vestiges
of guy rich’s directorial style on
display though
his non-linear story structure is just
one example of this where the same event
takes place multiple times during the
course of the film
with each inspiration shedding more
lights on the overall narrative
the narrative itself is not as complex
as that sets up the lead one to believe
with very few twists along the way but
each take is at least presented from a
new perspective
uses some effective cinematography which
makes the repetition feel like less of a
chore
the highlights of the film for most
viewers then is certainly the action
sets pieces
and thankfully most of it is grounded in
reality
so don’t expect to see any cars flying
from one building to the next
like in those transporter movies some
action film logic is still on display of
course
especially during his climactic final
scenes where our hell breaks loose are
scheduled
but he never ventures in to leave your
brain out the door territory
rats of man is a by the numbers revenge
movie that doesn’t try to do too much to
distinguish itself from those that came
before it
the film might prove a bit too dark for
guy ritchie fans hoping for something
closer to last year as the gentleman
but for anyone looking for yet another
decent statement action vehicle
minus much of the charm and charisma the
actor is known for then the film should
still deliver on his promise of a bloody
good time
i’ll give the film a six out of ten
we will be checking out rats of mine
anytime soon let me know in the comment
section down below
we are officially in the summer movie
season so expect to see even more movie
reviews from me over the course of the
next couple of weeks
