Jason Statham takes on an army of bank robbers in the Wrath of Man

Though he’s now well on the other side of 50 years old, the cue-balled 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing machine known as Jason Statham has shown no signs of slowing down, continuing to crank out enjoyable B-movie action at a swift clip. His latest entry along those lines will be Wrath of Man, a reunion with regular collaborator Guy Ritchie that casts the star as the two kinds of men he plays best: a man on a mission, and a man with a secret.

The first trailer for the upcoming horror film, with so many gun reloading clicks that the sounds begin to resemble rhythmic music. In it, Statham shoots sharp fire at one group of bank robbers after another as he works as part of a team protecting armored trucks transporting huge sums of money.

But this mysterious ‘H’ carries a dark secret that the clip below reveals after about a minute: this man has set out to find the bastard who murdered his son many years ago, a Classic staging is not sinful. -banned ass kicking since Death Wish. With each job and each group involved that goes bankrupt, he gets one step closer to bringing the 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er to justice (presumably of the bloody street kind).

While Ritchie’s last film The Gentlemen may have drawn mixed reviews – including from this publication: we deemed it “out of touch and out of time” – at least it’s positive to see him sticking to original concepts, as opposed to the flat franchise work that seemed to grind out much of his creative sensibility. The man’s most comfortable with hard-nosed, be-stubbled crooks, and this project should supply him with plenty.

As for Ritchie and Statham, they’re already hard at work on their next film together, a currently filming production called Five Eyes that will pair him with Aubrey Plaza as an MI6 and CIA agent joining forces. Firearms, globetrotting location shooting, odds-on grimacing? It’s got all the makings of another gem in the Statham filmography.
