Wrath of Man, new on Hulu, proves great Jason Statham thrillers can be ice cold
Your typical Guy Ritchie protagonist is a brash, loud person who won’t shut the hell up. That’s doubly true of Guy Ritchie protagonists played by Jason Statham. So far, the duo has worked together on four movies, with Statham’s characters generally carrying the kind of Ritchie-movie swaggering bravado that can come off as charming or abrasive, depending on the role, the film, and the audience. Ritchie famously discovered the actor while Statham was selling fake perfume and jewelry on the streets of London — the director needed to cast a con artist in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Statham had on-the-job experience.
