Overlooked Jason Statham Thriller Is Dominating Streaming Right Now
Once overlooked, Jason Statham’s Wrath of Man is surging on Netflix, vaulting into the top 10 and reigniting buzz around Guy Ritchie’s 2021 thriller.
Jason Statham is quietly taking over Netflix again. Guy Ritchie’s 2021 action-thriller Wrath of Man just popped back up in a big way, and the numbers say people are finally giving this one the attention it deserved the first time.
How it’s climbing the Netflix charts
Wrath of Man landed on Netflix and immediately made noise: it hit No. 1 on December 27. For the official U.S. Top 10 Movies window of December 29, 2025 through January 4, 2026, it settled at No. 3 — its second straight week on the chart. Translation: strong debut, still holding steady, and a lot of folks are pressing play.
The hook (and why it works)
Statham plays Patrick 'H' Hill, a quiet new hire at a Los Angeles armored truck company that ferries cash around the city. His timing is suspicious: he shows up not long after a brutal attack on a Fortico Security truck that left several people dead. On his very first run, 'H' shuts down a hijacking with surgical precision, which sets off alarm bells with coworkers and gets the attention of federal agents. The FBI hauls him in, then lets him walk — but as the robberies keep coming, it’s pretty obvious 'H' isn’t here by accident. There’s a personal score in play, and he’s methodical about collecting.

Why it’s getting a second wind
This one always felt underrated: tough, lean, and more cold-blooded than flashy. The current Netflix surge backs that up — beyond the critics’ mid-60s take, regular viewers clearly dug it then and are rediscovering it now. If you skipped it in theaters because you figured it was just another Statham shootout, the sustained Top 10 run suggests it’s worth a revisit.
