Wrath of Man is heading to Tubi on November 1, giving viewers a free way to catch Jason Statham’s armored-truck thriller after its theatrical run. The 119-minute film, directed by Guy Ritchie, pairs Statham with a story built around a guarded, mysterious driver known only as H.
That is the draw now: a film that pulled in $108 million at the box office is about to be available without a subscription, and it comes with the extra pull of a Statham-Ritchie reunion. The movie links back to Snatch and Revolver, two earlier collaborations that helped define their rough-edged crime-action formula.
For viewers searching the Jason Statham Scott Eastwood action movie tag, Wrath of Man fits the same appetite for hard-hit action and a lead who barely breaks stride under pressure. In the film, H takes a job as an armored truck guard, then proves almost unnervingly calm when robbers hit one of his runs and he shoots them all. On another attempted robbery, the thieves take one look at him and flee. Ritchie splits the story into four chapters that jump across time and shift points of view, which gives the movie a colder, more methodical shape than a straight chase picture.
The reaction around it was never simple, though. Wrath of Man drew audiences even as reviews were middling, which is a reminder that Statham’s toughest roles can travel on momentum as much as praise. It is also one of his darker films, and that tone helped set it apart from the lighter, flashier action work audiences often expect from him.
Josh Hartnett adds another layer to that pull. He plays Boy Sweat, and he said Ritchie called him the day filming started and asked him to come up to London for a part that was not yet in the script. Hartnett said he saw it as a challenge and wanted to see where it went. That kind of on-the-fly casting matches the loose, improvised edge that Ritchie often brings to his crime films, even when the finished result is tightly cut and heavily structured.
What comes next is simple: Wrath of Man lands on Tubi on November 1, and the film’s mix of Statham, Ritchie, and Hartnett gives it a second life well after its box-office run. For anyone who missed it in theaters, the waiting is over.
