Since June 16, Guy Ritchie's latest film has been available in cinemas. An Angry Man marks the fourth collaboration between the filmmaker and actor Jason Statham, who returns in a Guy Ritchie film, more than fifteen years after Revolver. American remake of the French film The Conveyor, focus on this new proposal of the British filmmaker:
An Angry Man: Classic Recipe for Guy Ritchie
Let's say it right away, An Angry Man is far from Guy Ritchie's best film. After his excellent The Gentlemen, the director slows down to sign a much more classic work. In any case less creative. So certainly, An Angry Man fits perfectly into the filmography of its author. However, we knew our dear Guy Ritchie in better shape. 
An Angry Man is far from ashamed, and is even a rather enjoyable action movie. Guy Ritchie again offers Jason Statham a more consistent role than the majority of his films, and once again allows him to shine on screen. In a silence and a deep silence, the actor embodies with strength and conviction a meticulous, indestructible and totally invincible character. The classic portrait of the action man of the late 1990s, revisited here by Guy Ritchie. An angry man is a bit like that. Guy Ritchie takes up the formula of action cinema of that time, to bring it up to date. An action film with a solitary and tortured hero, uncompromising, violent, noisy, and above all wearing, because of a much too excessive duration. All the ingredients are there, the good and the bad.
Guy Ritchie more discreet than usual
Oddly, Guy Ritchie is calmer than usual. He signs a more watered down staging, less flashy than usual, free of any aesthetic artifice. The goal is to sign a more brutal, drier, more direct realization, to serve the purpose of this story of relentless revenge. Here, no clipped staging (or very little), no over-cutting, no catchy pop soundtrack, no Guy Ritchie wants to hit hard, without frills. And it works pretty well, as some action sequences are worth a look (especially in the last part of the film). 
Obviously, and fortunately for his fans, Guy Ritchie's style nevertheless appears. As usual, the filmmaker offers a plot to draw, with several temporalities, several points of view on the same sequence, and a deliberately disjointed editing. As usual, it features colorful characters, like the henchmen of Jason Statham's character, or some cops. Finally, as usual, it offers some funny and tasty dialogues. But once again, the director is restrained, and has muzzled his extravagant style for the purposes of his story. A story that is also very far from The Conveyor (the French version), which is not worse. Finally, we must highlight the maestro of the opening sequence, absolutely stunning. Nevertheless, An Angry Man, without Being Bad, remains a minor film in Guy Ritchie's filmography. https://youtu.be/CT0jhxI-pfI
