Wrath of Man

 A more sedate Ritchie than usual, this remake of the French film Les Conveyeurs gives us a fairly grim story of a armoured car guard (Statham) with a few secrets on board, and the complicated nature of his relationship with the perpetrators of the attacks on the armoured cars. There's good tense build up, a number of reasonably big-name actors to be red herrings or draw the attention away, and a satisfying final battle. Okay, so Statham is a bit too limited an actor to really sell the emotional turmoil which is supposedly going on beneath him, but the film still works fairly well.
