WRATH OF MAN 2 Teaser (2024) With Jason Statham & Scott Eastwood & Niamh Algar

Wrath of Man is a 2021 action thriller heist film directed by Guy Ritchie, from a script he co-wrote with Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies, and is loosely based on the 2004 French film Cash Truck by Nicolas Boukhrief. It is Ritchie’s fourth directorial collaboration with lead actor Jason Statham, and first since Revolver (2005).

Statham stars as H, a new cash truck driver in Los Angeles whose thwarting of a robbery leads to his skillset with guns and mysterious past being questioned. Holt McCallany, Jeffrey Donovan, Chris Reilly, Josh Hartnett, Laz Alonso, Raúl Castillo, DeObia Oparei, Eddie Marsan, and Scott Eastwood also star.

Wrath of Man was released in several countries on April 22, 2021, and in the United States on May 7. The film has grossed $104 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics upon release, who praised the action sequences but criticized the plot.

Wrath of Man, which bizarrely opens with a stylistic homage to 007 credits sequences, introduces Statham as the un-Bond-like “H” (everyone in the film has at least one alias), who has just been accepted as a driver/security guard for an armored car company. After impressing his mentor, the fast-talking and genial Bullet (Holt McCallany), with his capabilities, he gets his first job on a three-person team alongside Bullet and the obnoxiously whiny Boy Sweat Dave (Josh Hartnett).

It doesn’t take long before H makes a name for himself by foiling an attempted robbery by using the expedient method of turning the would-be thieves into corpses. But there’s more going on than is initially apparent as a scene featuring Andy Garcia (as an FBI honcho) indicates. Cue a series of time-jumps that fill in H’s story.

Also in the mix are a gang of ex-military armored car robbers led by their former commanding officer (Jeffrey Donovan) and featuring the stereotypical loose cannon psycho (Scott Eastwood). This group is destined for a collision with H although, as the backstory informs us, it won’t be their first encounter.
