Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie’s careers kicked off at the same time, when Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels introduced the former as an action-comedy lead, and the latter as a fresh voice in cinematic storytelling. Surprisingly, it’s been more than a decade-and-a-half since these collaborators have worked together, with Wrath of Man being their big reunion film after 2005’s Revolver. That sort of wait raises certain expectations with fans, and in this particular case fans of Statham and Ritchie should have no problem strapping in for the ride, as the actor and filmmaker have reunited for a solid, R-rated action thriller.
