“#The year’s most badass movie<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Jason Statham is the Baryshnikov of badassery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In \u201cWrath of Man,\u201d the actor\u2019s character, called H, breathtakingly kills 10 people like he\u2019s doing a chass\u00e9 into a glorious <\/em>grand jet\u00e9 onstage at Lincoln Center. (Look it up, you rubes.)<\/p>\n

H is one of many brusque fellows who work for Fortico, an armored-car company that moves millions of dollars in cash and jewels daily for reputable clients. The drivers all have enjoyably moronic nicknames such as Hollow Bob (Rocci Williams), Boy Sweat Dave (Josh Hartnett<\/a>) and Bullet (Holt McCallany). H recently replaced Sticky John. That moniker, thankfully, goes unexplained.<\/p>\n

Their banter is an HR nightmare. They call the woman who watches over one bank\u2019s vault Hot Betty, and the bros crack locker room jokes that would send snowflakes into therapy.<\/p>\n

But violence, not humor, is king here.<\/p>\n

On his first run, H\u2019s car is attacked by a band of robbers looking to steal the dough. Instead of following company guidelines and not going toward danger, H kills every single one with all the effort of licking a postage stamp.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m beginning to think he\u2019s a psychopath,\u201d says one of his comrades at the office. Truth be told, I\u2019m beginning to think I\u2019m a psychopath for how much I enjoyed watching Statham spill gallons of blood and brains all over Los Angeles sidewalks.<\/p>\n

However, director Guy Ritchie<\/a>, whose work is hit and miss, turns the most barbaric carnage into carnival rides. This is Ritchie\u2019s second straight crime film triumph after \u201cThe Gentlemen,\u201d starring Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWrath of Man\u201d isn\u2019t as blatantly funny as \u201cThe Gentlemen\u201d is, though it has its laughs, but it is taut and exhilarating without a single wasted moment.<\/p>\n

Gradually, we learn more about the cagey and mysterious H \u2014 where he came from and why he\u2019s working at Fortico when he\u2019s clearly overqualified to be a simple security guard. A shadowy group of villains, including Scott Eastwood<\/a>, is introduced later and given just as juicy a backstory as the lead. It\u2019s that careful unravelling and attention to detail that lifts \u201cWrath of Man\u201d above most other shoot\u2019em-ups and revenge films.<\/p>\n

The plot builds to an epic grand finale that, I can say without spoiling anything, features a lot more death than it does puppies.<\/p>\n

Also: A quick nod to Christopher Benstead\u2019s ominous score. You\u2019re not gonna leave humming it \u2014 if you do, you\u2019re weird \u2014 but it\u2019s extremely effective in both signaling urban decay and creating smart suspense, not unlike the excellent music in \u201cJoker.\u201d<\/p>\n

None of this would work nearly as well without steely Statham, a frequent collaborator of Ritchie\u2019s and one of our best working action stars. What separates the Brit from, say, Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson<\/a> is you never truly believe Johnson would kill somebody. Statham, on the other hand, could very well be a paid government assassin who makes Hollywood films in order to hide his true identity. The guy rarely cracks a smile, and when he does, it\u2019s because he did a great job killing a bunch of bad guys.<\/p>\n

Beware \u2014 and behold \u2014 his wrath.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
