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.
