Wrath of Man

WRATH OF MAN | Official Trailer | MGM Studios

Another old, famous movie actor showing that he is still a tough guy, ala Tom Cruise. Jason Statham is 54 years old, Cruise is 59. This show isn't all fisticuffs, guns are the predominate weapon here and there is an impressive gun battle towards the end.

The story involves looting the central depot for an armored car company. Supposedly on Black Friday the depot will have collected $180 million in cash from the retail businesses in central Los Angeles. Is that even possible? I mean, does anyone still use cash? Wouldn't the bulk of the sales be done using credit cards? Let's do some math. The City of Los Angeles has a population of roughly four million, and that's not counting all the surrounding cities that make up the great Los Angeles megapolis. If ten percent of the people still use cash, and they each spend $50 on Black Friday, which might buy you a T-shirt, you'd have $200 million bucks, so I guess maybe it is possible.

Holt McCallany

Holt McCallany plays a lead role in the story. Spoiler - he turns out to be a bad guy, but we don't get a single clue that he is a villain until he announces it. I mean, that's one of the standard tricks of murder mysteries on TV. There are always subtle clues that so-and-so is not quite on up-and-up. Sometimes it's a red herring, and sometimes there are so many suspicious characters you want to throw your entire bowl of popcorn at the screen. I mean some stories have so many suspicious characters you begin to suspect that the whole town is just a hub of villainy. We have a bunch of unlikeable characters here, but it's mostly just macho guys being rude and crude.
