WRATH OF MAN
(NO SPUD 4U)

 

Guy Ritchie is famous for a lot of things. He's directed
some great movies including one of the Sherlock Holmes
movies with Repobery Downey Jr, the classic Brit crime
punker, RockandRolla. And of course he’s famous for
having been married to Madonna for a while

But this movie is definitely not one of the things he is
famous for.

A few years back, Mr Ritchie started directing movies that
started Jason Straithern, a man of few words and a lot of
action and, of course made a lot of money because there
1s no shortage of people out there who will watch any-
thing where the killing is brutal and the hero looks like
he could be someone you could go have a beer with

I'm not a big fan of this genre of movie, mostly because
the storylines are generally obvious, or the scripts are
crap, or the acting is abysmal, or the violence is way too
over the top

The Wrath Of Man has the dubious honour of possessing
all these qualities in ample measure

But like a massive train wreck, you can't really turn away,
because you have to know how all the bad guys are
gonna get obliterated. So even though it's probably
the worst movie you've seen in a while, you still watch it.

And a part of you hates yourself a little bit for stooping
that low. (NETFLIX)
