I hardly ever see newer movies that I'm really interested in. Enter
Jason Statham who has made umpteen tough guy genre movies, with varying
degrees of success. In this movie, which apparently is a remake of a
French movie, he plays a tough guy too, but not like I've ever seen him
before. I had to wonder what a very competent director, Guy Ritchie,
could do with him. Quite a bit. The movie begins with him getting
hired by and armored car company. He doesn't speak much, and seems
somewhat mysterious. He gives his name as "Hill" but they refer to him
as "H" which reminded me a little of Clint's Man with No Name character
which in itself is interesting, since Clint's son Scott Eastwood has a
pivotal role in the movie. Now a movie about an armored car heist
sounds like something we've seen before, but not in this way. Early on
you are given hints that Statham's character has a revenge motif, and as
the movie unfolds in a somewhat non-linear fashion, you find out the
whole story. Eventually Statham exacts his revenge, as the title tells
you, but even that is a little different than anything I'd seen before.

The directing by Ritchie is great, but different in that this is played
completely straight, and all his other movies have a whimsical quality
to them. Since he cowrote the script this was obviously planned. I
didn't know if I'd like this movie but I really did, and may watch it
again to pick up on stuff I missed. But even if I don't I'll definitely
seek out the original to see how it compares.

An armored-car robbery goes wrong ...and hell is coming to be paid.
WRATH OF MAN stars the stony Easter Island visage of Jason Statham along
with a sprinkling of capable character-actors ...all of whom take second
place to the directorial presence of Guy Ritchie, who artfully conspires
with a grimly ominous score to imbue this action flick with gravitas
despite a near total lack of substance. Modestly recommended.

Ah, I must have missed that. I didn't know "substance" was a thing you
were looking for, in fact I wonder if you've ever even mentioned it
before. How does this compare to "Star Wars" for example, does Yoda say
about a lot about the human condition?

Well, Yoda and STAR WARS may speak of our desperation for mythology...

Star Wars were best described when it came out in '77: cowboys and
indians in space. There's nothing "mythical" about it in my opinion,
but thanks for evading my point. Usenet has always been the wrong place
to try and stimulate conversation. Simulate conversation is more like it.

STAR WARS was at its best, period, when it came out in '77. Imho.

Meanwhile, I've little to add to my WOM blurb ...though I do remember my
sense of a lot of talent and energy wrapping a facile story. Imho.

Are you a fan of Guy Ritchie? He's got a pretty fair body of work and
this was different than any of his other movies that I've seen. If you
don't give a shit that's your prerogative, but you seem to have morphed
into moviepiglet.

Yes, iirc I've seen pretty much all his stuff. For me, this one came up
feeling, though stylish, short on what it seemed to promise.

To me it was the only movie of his that seemed somewhat cold and
detached. I'm not sure what was going on with that. He used Statham
better than any other director in my opinion, though. The cast was
really well chosen. But whatever, it seems like intelligent dialogue on
social media is largely dead. C'est la vie.
