Miramax has just released the first trailer for its latest action-thrillerWrath of Man, which seesJason Stathamreteaming with directorGuy Ritchiefor an armored truck heist movie.
The film is based on the 2004 French action-thrillerLe Convoyeur, which followed a security guard who has an ulterior motive when he takes a job working for an armored truck company. The revenge-driven remake follows a mysterious man named H (Statham) who goes to work for an armored truck company that is responsible for moving hundreds of millions of dollars around Los Angeles each week.

This first trailer certainly feels like a blend of Jason Statham’s revenge-motivated action films, with the addition of Ritchie’s interest in organized crime. Set over a slowed-down version of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” theWrath of Mantrailer shows Statham taking out armored truck robbers with frightening precision and intensity, and seemingly scaring the crap out of Post Malone.
Just days after Collider learned thatWrath of Manwould hit theaters on April 23, Miramax and distributor United Artists Releasing announced it was pushing the movie back to May 7 in the wake ofBlack Widow’s move to July. It is now slated for release just one week before Lionsgate unveils its horror movieSpiral: From the Book of SawstarringChris RockandSamuel L. Jackson.
