Original title: Wrath of Man

The film follows H, a new recruit at a Los Angeles-based cash-in-transit firm. During an armored-van raid, he proves to be shockingly effective, taking his colleagues by surprise and sowing doubt about his true identity. Beneath his apparent cool, H is chasing a personal objective tied to a violent incident that happened before he joined the company.
A Man in Anger is adapted from the French film Le Convoyeur, directed by Nicolas Boukhrief in 2004. Guy Ritchie presents an American version structured around multiple viewpoints, with a progression that gradually reveals the links between the robbers, the guards, and the protagonist’s past.
The film is aimed at fans of action thrillers, of dark thrillers, and of revenge stories. More frontline than some of Guy Ritchie’s crime comedies, it emphasizes heists, power dynamics, and the mechanics of a personal vendetta.

Our take on Wrath of Man:
Guy Ritchie delivers a taut, hard-edged action thriller built around a non-linear narrative that keeps the motive behind H.'s actions in the shadows. The film unfolds in blocks, gradually revealing the circumstances that push Jason Statham's character to infiltrate the world of cash-in-transit couriers.
The direction prioritizes brisk efficiency, stark confrontations, and a relentless tension. Statham delivers a bold, almost stoic lead—relying more on presence than on dialogue. The approach pays off especially in the sword-fight of action sequences and the mechanics of vengeance at work.
The plot remains somewhat predictable in its arc, with supporting players sometimes reduced to mere function within the story. Wrath of Man stays a solid action thriller, buoyed by its construction, a brooding atmosphere, and the Ritchie–Statham pairing.
