Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Admirable film.
Putting aside, the bad reviews, it's definitely on the list, if you like vengeance movies.
This movie must have sounded great when they wrote the outline on a gin- soaked bevnap in some LA nightclub/pre-rehab center.Elements of several movie franchises are crammed into one very messy omelet of trope and cliché. My guess is that when they realized how old Travolta had gotten, there only solution was to toss Meloni into the mix. The movie has so many plot holes, continuity errors and thick headed moments your eyes will hurt from so much rolling.
According to Wikipedia, Michael Caine, asked his opinion of "Jaws: The Revenge," is quoted as replying, "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific." Well, Caine wanted a house, Maybe John Travolta needed a tweak or two on his jets. It's the only reason I can think of that Travolta took this part . take the money and run or rather, take the money and fly. Maybe the exhibitors attended a showing of "I Am Wrath." Their response? The movie went straight to video. Actually, the film is not bad if you give it a very long leash. One can figure out the real bad guy within 10 minutes. The whole affair is a hodgepodge of "Death Wish" films (all five of them) the John Wick films, hundreds of buddy type movies, and other genres of films already seen if you are over 18 years old. Maybe the only film "I Am Wrath" has not copied in some form or other is "The Sound of Music."
The formula has been Taken ... I know: I am Fun (at least that's what I think - kind of like what Travoltas character thinks). The question is, did you like the movie Taken? Also would it make sense watching that again over this? The possibility is very high that both those questions can be answered with a resounding yes.But sometimes you just want to watch something "new". And the movie does do a decent job overall. Even if you just know where this is going and even if Travolta gets a bit too heroic (especially towards the end, with a very weird and wrong slow motion shot-literally!). If you don't mind these things, you'll have fun
