Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie's heist thriller, which was a box office hit in 2021 that earned $104 million worldwide, only has days left on Netflix. Fans of Statham's thrillers and Ritchie's stylish movies should act fast and watch Wrath of Man before it is taken off of Netflix on Wednesday, March 25, 2026.

Ritchie and Statham have collaborated on multiple movies throughout their careers, which have spanned nearly three decades since they first teamed up on 1998's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, followed by the all-time classic Snatch in 2000. Their upcoming film, Viva La Madness, will mark their sixth feature film as the lead actor and director duo. Until then, however, there's a strong case for Wrath of Man to be their best movie since Snatch.

Wrath Of Man Leaves Netflix In 5 Days – Watch Before It's Gone

Wrath of Man, which was the #1 most-watched movie on Netflix back in December 2025, will be removed from Netflix in less than a week. Whether you have already seen the modern classic heist movie or not, now is the time to watch or re-watch it while you still can on Netflix.

One of Statham's most accessible and star-studded movies, Wrath of Man somewhat inadvertently brought Josh Hartnett out of his semi-retirement from acting, as Ritchie phoned in a last-minute favor for him to appear in the film. Hartnett would go on to have a career renaissance in the early 2020s that led him to star alongside Cillian Murphy in Christopher Nolan's Oscar winner Oppenheimer.

Wrath of Man also features great performances by Holy McCallany, Jeffrey Donovan, Scott Eastwood, Andy Garcia, and more. It stars Statham as H, a mysteriously stoic character who is hired as a security guard by a cash truck company in Los Angeles. Undoubtedly inspired by classic heist movies like Heat, Point Break, and The Town, Wrath of Man serves as a worthy addition to the genre thanks to its strong performances and its action-packed story.

Of course, Wrath of Man wouldn't be a modern Statham movie if it didn't feature a one-person army element, just like his other recent hits, such as The Beekeeper, A Working Man, and Shelter. Statham has quite literally developed his own action hero brand, like Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Liam Neeson before him, and Wrath of Man is one of the most engaging entries in his filmography.

Interestingly, Wrath of Man is quietly an adaptation of the 2004 film Le Convoyeur, a somewhat forgotten French conspiracy thriller. This may be why the film has a gritty old-school feel to it that is seldom found in modern heist movies, such as the Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Netflix hit The Rip. What's more, Wrath of Man earned a very solid 90% Rotten Tomatoes audience score, which contrasts with its less-than-favorable critic score of 68%.

Wrath Of Man Is Statham & Ritchie's Best Movie Since Snatch

All things considered, Statham and Ritchie's work on Wrath of Man makes for an enjoyable, albeit familiar, ride. It's sort of like eating a delicious chocolate chip cookie with some good vanilla ice cream – plain, but it can still hit the spot if you're looking for it. Wrath of Man is most exciting because of its strong ensemble of legendary actors. Sure, the movie might have been better considering the amount of talent on set, but there's no question that the script was elevated thanks to Ritchie's direction and some convincing performances.

While not necessarily epic or iconic, Wrath of Man isn't disappointing or overrated either. It's more memorable and effective than Ritchie and Statham's other recent movie, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, and in my opinion, is their second-best collaboration, only after Snatch. Ultimately, it's completely worth watching before it's taken off Netflix on Wednesday, March 25, so don't miss out.
