Wrath of Man
After a cash pickup truck robbery where 2 guards were killed, Fortico Security hires Patrick Hill (Jason Statham) as a new guard. He is a mystery man & seems to be more than he pretends to be. This is a big heist film where a crack team of clever thieves seem to be always one step ahead of everyone. There is likely an inside man but who is it? And who is this Mr Hill? The story is told in 4 parts with flashbacks recapping previous scenes & revealing more information each time. This repetition confused me a bit. With Statham as the lead character, his stereotype kind of tips the hand to where the plot is going. Scott Eastwood & Jeffrey Donovan are among the supporting cast with Josh Hartnett, Post Malone, & Andy Garcia in smaller roles. It’s a fun shoot ‘em up action thriller.
Alien gives it 3 “Dougie” stars out of 4.
