Wrath of Man (2021)

When a silent, deadly presence gaps into a Los Angeles cash truck pool, you feel every pause as the line between security and assassin blurs. Wrath of Man (2021) stays in the shadows, delivering a slow, methodical revenge arc that keeps you breathing in dread. The most striking moment is when Joaquin Phoenix, almost entirely wordless, turns a hallway into a battlefield with spikes and jagged shots that feel like a filmed chess game. You’ll appreciate the film if patience amid the deliberate beats rewards you with cathartic payoff. A pacing hiccup in the middle makes the pacing feel slightly uneven, but the impact pulls you back over the loss.
