Wrath Of Man (2021)

Given I had trashed Guy Ritchie as a director all the way up to the unexpected evolution of his talent with The Gentlemen and consider myself a connoisseur of Jason Statham movies, I was very excited by their return together after near fifteen years apart. Sadly, after a directorialy stunning opening third, Ritchie's most stylish and fluid yet, the film has none of The Gentlemen's strong writing, characters, performance or wit - and makes scant use of Statham. Far closer in fact to one of his underwritten, earlier films.
