Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham Thriller Streams on Prime Video
Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham reunited for Wrath of Man, a 2021 crime thriller that follows a security guard pursuing revenge after an armored truck robbery leaves two guards and a bystander dead. The film is available to rent on Prime Video and Apple TV+, offering audiences another chance to watch the British filmmaker and actor's action collaboration.
The story centers on Patrick Hill, a newly hired security guard whose exceptional marksmanship and intimidating presence raise suspicions among his colleagues. As the investigation into the robbery unfolds, his hidden past emerges, revealing a personal motive behind his actions.
Statham leads an ensemble cast that includes Holt McCallany, Scott Eastwood, Jeffrey Donovan, Josh Hartnett and Eddie Marsan. The film combines a criminal investigation with a revenge-driven narrative, shifting between events to gradually reveal the connections behind the central robbery.
Wrath of Man arrived in 2021, when moviegoing habits had not fully returned to pre-pandemic levels, according to Esquire. The publication noted that the film has received less attention than some of Ritchie and Statham's other collaborations.
The director and actor previously worked together on Snatch, the 2000 British crime film that became a cult favorite and helped establish Ritchie's recognizable filmmaking style. That film also featured Stephen Graham and Vinnie Jones.
Critical reception for Wrath of Man was generally positive. Rotten Tomatoes recorded a 68 percent approval rating from critics and a 90 percent audience score, according to the review aggregation figures cited by Esquire.
The Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus described the film's approach to its relatively simple storyline:
"Wrestling just enough stakes out of its thin plot, Wrath of Man sees Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham reunite for a fun, action-packed ride."
Christina Newland of iNews also praised the film's action and style, describing its appeal as:
"fine form with some old-fashioned shoot-'em-up fun,"
Her assessment highlighted the film's traditional action elements. The review placed it among the more straightforward action thrillers in Ritchie and Statham's shared filmography.
Nick De Semlyen of Empire offered a favorable assessment while noting the complexity of the film's structure:
"Guy Ritchie delivers a nice surprise: an LA neo-noir with high-voltage action and an ice-cube-cool Statham. If it gets a bit tangled up in its time-hopping reveals, it's largely an enjoyable, rattlesnake-mean thriller."
De Semlyen's review highlighted the combination of high-intensity action and a neo-noir atmosphere, while acknowledging that the shifting timeline can make the narrative more complicated.
Wrath of Man is available to rent through Prime Video and Apple TV+, according to Esquire. The film stars Statham as Patrick Hill and is directed by Ritchie.
