Guy Ritchie's brilliant compositional ability



The French version has realistic characters and a strong sense of drama, but it is not as flashy as ``Wrath of Man'' and is just a small piece. Richie's version is more entertaining and shows off his skill as an arranger.


The movie is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 is "Evil Spirits". The story is set in Los Angeles, and the main character, H, joins a cash transportation company. This company is quite large and has state-of-the-art trucks. In training immediately after joining the company, H's shooting performance was barely at a passing level. Although he is not a particularly notable person, eventually an incident occurs in which a transport vehicle is attacked, and he saves his friends from a difficult situation. Then, when the next heist happens, it becomes clear that he is no ordinary man.


Chapter 2 is "Sobering". The story depicts an incident that happened to H and his son five months ago, and the thugs in the area are investigated in a thorough manner. Chapter 3 is "The Beasts". Former soldiers who participated in the war (=beasts) gather at the house of a former sergeant and plan to rob him of cash. Chapter 4 is "Liver, Lungs, Spleen, and Heart." The reason for the title will be revealed later in the film.


All of these (seemingly incomprehensible) chapter titles are taken from lines spoken by characters in the play, and their true meanings soon become clear. One of the characteristics of this work is that the tense jumps boldly from the middle, and by tracing the flow from the present to the past and from the past to the present, the story unfolds into a grand 180 million dollar cash heist plan. I arrive at that.

Solve the entire puzzle by turning over some mysterious cards. ``Wrath of Man'' has that kind of thrill.


Jason, who plays the main character H, doesn't have many lines to say, but you can see a variety of emotions in his eyes. Confusion, anger, sadness, madness. These elements were not present in him when he was working on ``Rock, Stock...'', and they are probably expressions that were born as the director and lead actor got older. Unlike ``Lock, Stock...'' and ``Snatch,'' which had a bright humor, this time the tone is dark from beginning to end, and the setting is such that you can feel the sadness surrounding H's son's incident.


Guy Ritchie also said this about the movie: ``This is a revenge action movie, with many layers of elements. There's something hidden there.I thought such twists and surprises would be interesting, so I composed the story.Also, the main character may be a silent anti-hero figure that appeared in American movies in the 1970s. ” (From an interview with “Goodbaduglyshow” Dave Griffiths on April 28, 2021)


Guy Ritchie's previous work with Jason, Revolver (2005), took on the challenge of visualizing the inner world of a man living in the world of crime, and it has already shown a darker expression than his first two films. Ta. Although the film was initially poorly criticized, it later gained cult popularity overseas.

It was a work with a strange taste, with stylish and shadowy images that were strangely addictive, but the director and Jason's dark path has borne fruit in this new work as an entertainment movie with a larger scale. The title background, which has a mythical image featuring the silhouettes of gods and skeletons, is also impressive, and by subduing the humorous elements more than usual, Jason's hidden terror is brought out.
