Over the decades Hollywood has found the armored truck heist genre irresistible, so it isn’t so odd that Jason Statham and director Guy Ritchie would center Wrath of Man, their first screen t…

. His style can sometimes be annoyingly frenetic and busy, but withthe dark and serious tone of an armored car heist plot serves both him and Statham well and gives them a license to kill in effective, high-octane power mode. It’s highly entertaining for fans of both director and star.

Set in Los Angeles but shot mainly with London doubling for the city, Ritchie and his gaggle of screenwriters have taken the 2004 french hitand given it an Americanized spin while providing Statham the kind of quiet, clenched-teeth role that fits him like a glove. He plays Patrick Hill, aka “H” as we later learn, a quiet but lethal guy who gets a job working as a security driver for a cash truck company named Fortico.

Using time-shifting storytelling devices we soon learn that Hill is indeed not just a guy in need of a low-level security job, but actually an undercover crime boss out to avenge the death of his son at the hands of a group of ex-military guys who quite frankly don’t know what they are in for once “H” zeroes in on them.

Ritchie delivers a solid ultra-violent enterprise here and Statham, dark and shady and handy with guns, facilitates it for him. The supporting cast plays it for all its worth even if most of them are stock characters in this type of film. Donovan, Marsan and particularly McCallany are all very fine, and as “H’s” fellow drivers Josh Hartnett and certainly Niamh Algar — the only woman in the bunch — stand out. Andy Garcia is in for a couple of scenes as a mysterious “H” associate.

Producers are Ivan Atkinson, Bill Block and Ritchie. MGM and United Artists Releasing open the Miramax film in theaters Friday.Let us know what
