Let's be frank, Wrath of Man is absolutely nothing new. Jason Statham as a borderline invincible killing machine, on a mission of revenge, whether it's Statham or not, it's been done a million and one times. The fact that it's a Guy Ritchie film sets it apart on paper, but in execution, it all feels very familiar. In spite of this however, I did find myself shoving potato chips in my mouth and mindlessly enjoying proceedings, and that's half the battle at the end of the day.
It takes a while to find it's footing. The first 30 minutes are clunky and riddled with truly awful dialogue. A vast majority of the characters are unlikable, so this extended introduction sequence is a drag. When things step into gear a bit, it becomes a bit more entertaining. Some decent action set pieces, some interesting camera choices from Ritchie, and Statham going around doing general Statham stuff ensure that it trundles over the finish line. It also stars Jeffrey Donovan, which is always going to be a plus for me after Villains.
The non chronological timeline thing it has going on is a nice touch, but ultimately feels unnecessary.

Wrath of Man is a competent enough crime-thriller. It's far from Ritchie's best work, and does get bogged down by it's script and supporting characters, but it's a fun switch-off-your-brain vehicle.
