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.[6] 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.
An armored truck is robbed by heavily armed men dressed as construction workers. Two guards and a civilian bystander are killed during the robbery. Five months after the robbery, a mysterious man named Patrick Hill (Statham) applies to Fortico Security. In his interview, his soon-to-be superior, Terry (Marsan), commends him for his references and warns him of the fatal robbery. Hill is then introduced to the company trainer Haiden (McCallany), known as "Bullet," who nicknames him "H" and oversees his training and tests. Hill passes the tests, meeting the bare minimum requirements, and gets off to a rocky start with his new colleagues, including Dave "Boy Sweat" (Hartnett) and Dana Curtis, the only female guard. On his first official day, Hill, Boy Sweat, and Bullet are assigned to the truck. While driving to a pickup, Boy Sweat tells Hill more about the robbery, revealing that he was supposed to drive the vehicle but that day had called in sick.
After another pickup, Bullet is taken hostage by gunmen. The robbers radio Dave and Hill and demand the $2 million left in their truck. Boy Sweat panics, trying to remember what protocol is in this situation, ultimately determining they should drive away without Bullet. Hill convinces him to comply and try to save Bullet. Hill exits the truck and quickly disposes of the gunmen with expert marksmanship, to the awe of Boy Sweat and Bullet. The FBI agents assigned to the robbery question Hill about why his shooting abilities differ from his training scores, which he says is due to the situation heightening his senses. The agents ask him to watch security footage of the previously mentioned robbery to see if he thinks the two crimes are connected. Hill says there is no connection and is released.
