Marking the combination of two famous faces after more than 16 years, the movie Wrath of Man on FPT Play is considered a fascinating action masterpiece, worthy of enjoying at home.

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

For that reason, Wrath of Man (Vietnamese title: Deadly Rage / The Mad Man’s Vengeance), the work that marks the reunion between those two names after more than 16 years, makes the movie-loving community extremely passionate. curious.

The film’s story revolves around H (Jason Statham), a “tough” security officer at Fortico cash transportation service. Even though he was only on probation, he soon made a name for himself when he protected a money truck from daring robbers, as well as personally destroying all of them. However, everyone at the company did not know that H came here to look for the person who murdered his son.

New setting, fascinating revenge story

With an interesting context, rarely exploited through movies, the work reveals the rigorous environment, full of procedures and principles of the high-end goods transport industry. Surely, many viewers have thought that this is an easy, high-paying job because you only need to sit still in a solid armored vehicle.

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

There was no time to plan a battle, they had to manage in cramped, cramped spaces. Not to mention, with a well-planned plan combined with advanced technological “toys”, the robbers in the movie easily ambushed the transport team, broke the steel door or forced those still entrenched to flee from the vehicle.

Despite possessing an easy-to-grasp plot, however, under the s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ful hands of director Guy Ritchie, Wrath of Man still has the power to bring many shocking twists. For example, the movie deceives the audience by making the male lead H look like a heroic hero at first, but then makes everyone “fall back” with the shocking truth about this middle-aged man and his faction. villain.

Different from the usual motif of avenging hero, H’s journey to repay his blood debt makes viewers both confused and excited, not knowing whether to sympathize or laugh comfortably at the extremely difficult situation. his uniqueness.

Guy Ritchie’s unique touch

Dubbed by critics as “Quentin Tarantino of the Mist”, Guy Ritchie is famous for his non-linear storytelling style and taste for violent action and gore similar to the monster masterpiece Kill Bill. If you love his typical British crime films, you will find that Wrath of Man is no exception to the above “formula”.

Using an episodic structure, the work sequentially tells stories with timelines and character arcs that seem to have nothing to do with each other. What’s interesting is that, later on, they gradually intersect at one point, thereby leading to a series of dramatic events that culminate in a bloody and violent action party.

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

Because of its emphasis on the theme of revenge, the latest brain𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 directed by Guy Ritchie has moderated many of the elements that helped him make his name. It is an entertaining, energetic editing style, using a series of quick cuts, dense but humorous dialogue, containing a satirical connotation, and costumes that honor masculine, elegant beauty. exhibition.

Throughout nearly 2 hours of Wrath of Man, Guy Ritchie focused on portraying a heavy, tense atmosphere. Although it has dark colors and creates a suffocating feeling for the audience, the atmosphere of the film contributes to accurately portraying the male lead’s inner feelings at that time: filled with anger.

There is no rush, chaos or bullets flying around like fights between street gangs, the gunfights in this work are more about precision and promoting tactics. Because both H and the villains are well-trained shooters. However, their level of violence is still quite “heavy”, guaranteed to satisfy loyal fans.

The film has a quality that exceeds expectations. Although it is innovative, it still retains Guy Ritchie’s unique quality. If you love the action genre, this is a movie worthy of your time to enjoy at home during the upcoming holiday season. Wrath of Man (Vietnamese title: Deadly Rage ) is available on FPT Play with full subtitles.
