Marking the union of two famous faces after more than 16 years, the movie Wrath of Man on FPT Play is considered an action-packed blockbuster that deserves to be enjoyed at home.

In 1998, when Jason Statham was still selling fake perfumes on the black market, “Quentin Tarantino of Fog” Guy Ritchie recognized his acting ability. Thanks to participating in two cult projects led by this director, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1988) and Snatch (2000), the actor quickly became widely known, becoming an expensive action star. top price.

For that reason, Wrath of Man (Vietnamized title: Deadly Wrath / The Revenge of Mad Man), the work that marks the reunion between those two names after more than 16 years, makes the movie-loving community very much. curious.

The film’s story revolves around H (Jason Statham), a “stubborn” security guard at the Fortico cash delivery service. Although he was just a probationary officer, he soon became famous when he protected the money truck from the daring robbers, as well as destroying them all with his own hands. However, everyone at the company did not know that, H came here to find the person who killed his son.

New context, fascinating revenge story

With an interesting background, rarely exploited through movies, the work reveals the rigorous environment, full of procedures and principles of the luxury goods transportation industry. Surely, many viewers have thought that this is a light job, with a high salary because just sitting still in a solid armored vehicle.

However, Wrath of Man will change their opinion, because every minute that passes on that car is like a string: “We are not hunters, we are prey”. Danger is always lurking “mobile safes” in every corner. And if they come suddenly, the escort team is often in a passive position.

There was no time to plan the battle, they had to manage in the cramped, tight space. Not to mention, with a methodical plan combined with “toys” with advanced technology, the bandits in the film easily overpowered the transport team, broke the steel door or forced those who were still entrenched to flee from the car.

Despite possessing an easy-to-understand plot, however, under the skillful hands of director Guy Ritchie, Wrath of Man is still able to bring many shocking twists. For example, the film deceived the audience when building the male lead H at first to look like a noble hero, only to make everyone “fall back” by the shocking truth about this middle-aged man and his faction. antagonist.

Different from the usual vengeful hero motif, the journey of H paying the blood debt makes viewers both bewildered and excited, not knowing whether to sympathize or laugh freely at the extremely difficult situation, his unique.

Guy Ritchie’s Distinctive Breakthrough

Dubbed the “Quentin Tarantino of the Fog” by critics, Guy Ritchie is known for his non-linear narration and his taste for violent, bloody action similar to the monstrous Kill Bill. If you love his British crime series, you will find that Wrath of Man is no exception to the “recipe” above.

Using the structure of chapters, the work alternately tells stories with timelines and characters that seem to have nothing to do with each other. Interestingly, as time goes on, they gradually intersect at one point, leading to a series of dramatic events that culminate in a bloody, violent action party.

However, when compared to Guy Ritchie’s previous works, the way to lead the content in Wrath of Man is easier to grasp. Each chapter also has its own color from pure action, criminal gangs to thieves.

Because of the emphasis on the theme of revenge, the latest brainchild led by Guy Ritchie has moderated many factors that helped him make a name. It is an entertaining, energetic editing style, using a series of quick cuts, dense but humorous dialogue, sarcastic implications, and costumes that celebrate masculine beauty and history. exhibition.

Throughout nearly 2 hours of time in Wrath of Man, Guy Ritchie focused on portraying a heavy, tense atmosphere. Despite bringing a gloomy color and creating a feeling of suffocation for the audience, the recent atmosphere of the film contributed to accurately depicting the inner male lead at that time: filled with anger.

Not rushing, chaotic or splashing bullets like some fights between street gangs, the gunfights in this work are more about accuracy and high on tactics. Because both H and the villains are well-trained gunners. However, their level of violence is still quite “heavy”, guaranteed to satisfy loyal fans.
