Why watch this film?
The return of British director Guy Ritchie with 'Wrath of Man' is truly remarkable. It has been 15 years since we had Jason Statham working on a fourth film under Ritchie's direction, after 'Snatch: Pigs and Diamonds' and his other great occasions. This time, Ritchie opts for a remake of the 2004 French movie 'Le Convoyeur.' Statham plays "H," a mysterious employee who is hired by armored truck company Fortico Securities after an ambush on one of its vehicles. At first, H seems calm and reserved, but after he and his partner Bullet (Holt McCallany) become the target of a robbery attempt, H shows his true skills as an expert marksman. But the big question is: Who is H and what does he do at Fortico? If you love fast-paced action thrillers, this is the movie for you.

Aladdin
Disney continues its series of adaptations of great animated classics to live-action version. The result with 'Aladdin' is mixed, as it has the virtue of reinventing the story for a new generation, with some changes in Princess Jasmine, as well as spectacular special effects. On the other hand, it does not reach the same level as the original production, despite the efforts of Will Smith - although the actor manages an original interpretation for the genie, he has the ungrateful shadow of the work of Robin Williams, who did the original voice of the character in the 1990s feature film. The direction is by Guy Ritchie, from the acclaimed 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
The classic medieval story of King Arthur has been interpreted and reinterpreted many times on the big screen. There's animation ("The Sword was the Law"), children's films ("The Boy Who Wanted to Be King") and even satires ("Monty Python and the Holy Grail"). Now, in this version, filmmaker Guy Ritchie ("Snatch: Pigs and Diamonds", "Aladdin") puts his style and aesthetic on the legend of the man who recovered the Excalibur sword. With good performances from Charlie Hunnam ("Sons of Hope") and Jude Law ("Closer: Too Close"), the director plays with the narrative by mixing events, altering the timeline and creating an hallucinating rhythm in this already known story. Thus, the great differential here is in relation to the treatment of the story and the new look that it gains under Ritchie's command, who has already created his own mark in cinema. Not everyone will like the way the story is approached, full of comings and goings, but it is undeniable that the movie surprises and knows how to bring news with scenes of action, adventure and pursuit full of life and good surprises.
The Gentlemen
Beloved and hated in equal proportions, filmmaker Guy Ritchie has managed to imprint his own style on the cinema. His films, 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and 'Snatch', feature an insane rhythm, intelligent editing and stories that delve into various plots and characters. In 'The Gentlemen', this is no different. Here, the director uses his already traditional style to tell the story of an American expatriate trying to sell his million-dollar marijuana business in London, generating unpredictable effects. The story is flavorful, the rhythm is insane and, above all, the entire cast is spectacular - with special mention to Matthew McConaughey and Charlie Hunnam. An intense, and even complicated, movie but that rewards at the end with a well-tied plot and Ritchie exercising his energetic and striking direction again.
Sherlock Holmes
Guy Ritchie's style doesn't seem like an appropriate choice to direct a cinematic adventure of the classic Arthur Conan Doyle character, but for times of modernization and reinterpretation of canons, it works very well. This version of 'Sherlock Holmes' is, it must be said, more spectacular than cerebral, which may sound antithetical to the character, but works as a fun introduction to his universe, more in the style of an action-packed adventure than a suspense movie. The highlight is the performances, with a phenomenal Robert Downey Jr. accompanied by a solid cast that includes Jude Law, Rachel McAdams and Mark Strong.
Snatch
It's the second movie from director Guy Ritchie, putting him on the map for international audiences before he became more famous with 'RocknRolla'. In 'Snatch: Pigs and Diamonds', the director employs his characteristic frenetic style to tell another story of crime, betrayal, and violence, which here revolves around deceptive boxing promoters and a valuable diamond. The director brings back several of his recurring collaborators, though Brad Pitt stands out in a surprising performance.
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
Since 'Snatch', director Guy Ritchie has tried to step out of his comfort zone with family fantasies like 'Aladdin', epics like 'King Arthur' and period mysteries like 'Sherlock Holmes'. However, it's clear he's back in his element when he goes into action, like in 'The Infiltrator' (with Jason Statham) or, even better, in the worlds of cynical and charismatic criminals like in 'The Gentlemen'. In 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre', we're halfway between both, with mixed results. The plot follows superspy Orson Fortune (Statham), who must make an uncomfortable alliance with other agents to stop billionaire criminal Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant). How? By using his favorite Hollywood actor, Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) as an infiltrator. There are some poorly crafted elements and others that work very well, like Aubrey Plaza ('White Lotus'), who takes a lot of jokes from the whole thing and from Ritchie's own "formula". The director has found his niche and feels comfortable in it: if you know his movies, you already know what to expect from the feature film, for better or for worse.
Guy Ritchie's The Covenant
Director Guy Ritchie (RocknRolla) takes a break from his usual action movie territory to venture into war movies. Guy Ritchie's The Covenant follows American Sergeant John Kinley (Jake Gyllenhaal), who in his last service in Afghanistan becomes the sole survivor of an ambush alongside Ahmed (Dar Salim), his local interpreter. Ahmed drags John for miles through the Afghan desert to save him, but ends up being captured by the Taliban. Feeling indebted, John decides to go back and rescue him. The script is a bit uneven and falls into many clichés of the American war genre. However, it is a captivating story that shines with Ritchie's visual style in the action scenes as well as with the performances of Gyllenhaal and Salim.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Based on the successful TV series and the spy films of the 60s, 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.', hugely popular at the time. Directed by Guy Ritchie ('Sherlock Holmes', 'RocknRolla'), the movie features very flashy action sequences in the usual style of the director, although behind them lies a banal, somewhat extravagant script in the era of Daniel Craig's James Bond, with a tone that lies between 'Casino Royale' and 'Get Smart'. The movie is rescued by its undeniable spectacularity and the charisma of a cast led by Henry Cavill ('Man of Steel'), Armie Hammer ('Call Me By Your Name'), Alicia Vikander ('The Danish Girl') and Elizabeth Debicki ('The Great Gatsby').
Action
The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is one of those films that seem designed to have it all and thus please the broadest audience possible. Based on the 1980s series of the same name and directed by David Leitch (former stunt double and now director of films like Bullet Train and Deadpool 2), the movie follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a down-on-his-luck stunt double who must investigate the mysterious disappearance of actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as this would ruin the first movie of his beloved, filmmaker Jody (Emily Blunt). And the major problem with this movie is that it tries to be everything: romantic comedy, action comedy, Hollywood satire, crime mystery, and more, hampered by the magnitude of its own ambitions, as well as an overloaded and unclear script. You can enjoy it as an insight into the world behind action cinema, and for the charisma of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.
Money
In this high-stakes action thriller, two pharmaceutical executives are about to get away with stealing $5 million until an uninvited houseguest derails their plans and holds them hostage during an all-night standoff. Featuring a powerful ensemble cast, including Jesse Williams, Kellan Lutz and Jess Weixler, MONEY is a chilling lesson in greed that will keep you guessing until the very end!
Deadpool & Wolverine
Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
