WRATH OF MAN

Recommended. Guy Ritchie's latest is heavy-loaded action with a mind-boggling puzzle beside a heist, all registered in the world's best sound: 7.1 which makes impact even in a 5.1 screening room. First I was apprehensive because of Jason Statham - he's got the same no-emotion stance and face in every movie. But exactly this works perfectly here, where the hero's poker face is a prerequisite. The multi-layered plot shows the same event from varied angles, going to and fro in time and switching between protagonists. But from among all Ritchie's films I've seen I don't recall any other with such sound. It's a masterpiece: surrounding, multi channeled, absolutely state-of-art. The sound effects and sound editing are Oscar worthy. What stays with you are also the low end tones of the track from the end credits.
