Holt McColony. That's the guy from Creepshaw, right? Yeah. Whatever the Indian guy's name was. He was always talking about his hair. He's going to make it Hollywood. Josh Hartnett, who had the weirdest name in this movie.

Was it a boy sweat Dave? Everybody had crazy names in this one. Let's see. Rochi Williams, Jeffrey Donovan, Scott Eastwood, Andy Garcia for a minute. Giobe, Oprah, Operai, Laslan. So, Mother's Milk from the boys, a bunch of other people. This is, of course, directed by Guy Ritchie. Nez, what did you think of wrath of man?

All right. I had to watch this one twice because this movie was fucking awesome. I loved it. I didn't know what to expect. I'm kicking myself like, why didn't I go to the theater and see this? Well, when this came out, I was scared to go to the theater. But I'm back in action. I went three times so far.

But, oh, man, I wish I would have saw this on the screen. I mean, when I heard it was Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham, I wasn't sure, was it going to be a comedy like The Gentleman? So I wasn't really sure. I was like, all right, well, Guy Ritchie, man, he hits it out of the park. Not every time, but the gentleman was awesome movie. And then I was like, okay, he's teaming up with the Turkish again. So let's check this out.

The Turkish is from a snatch, everyone. You guys haven't seen that one. How come you ain't bringing up Aladdin? All right. I tried on that one, and I couldn't do it. I mean, Will Smith, brother, I love you, but no. You ain't no Robin Williams. and I don't even know what they were trying to do with that film.

But anyway, oh, man, this movie was awesome. And when we do these reviews, I try to go into these, to these films cold, like not knowing anything about them, just hitting play and going for it. And I was blown away on how awesome this movie was. It was like, as soon as I was done, I was like, I got to watch this again. end. And if you're familiar with Guy Ritchie's films, I mean, they're never straightforward movies. They always jump all over the place.

But it fits in how he's laying out the story. And he did that with this one as well. And it made you like, you had a lot of questions before you actually get to the end on what's going on in the story. And why is he doing it this? why is Guy Ritchie putting in his film together like this? Because it jumps all over the place. But once you sit there, that's why I had to watch it twice because I was like, oh, okay, I had to put piece it all together as it was going along.

But man, this movie, I would say right now out of everything that I've seen him, Snatch being my favorite film of Guy Ritchie. I had this, what was that, lockstock and two smoking barrels or whatever? That was my second favorite. it but this Rathamand bumping that one out of the number two spot because this this movie was awesome I loved it uh jason statham is just badass period I mean and everything he's doing is he in the Meg 2 yes I'm gonna have to do a rewind on that first one I saw it once the guy that did directed free fires is doing that one

Okay, I did I enjoyed that film, but I know, we'll see. But this movie was, was awesome, man. I mean, what was going on in it, the action, the shoot-em-up action that was going on in this. And it was, it was tough, man. I couldn't believe what I was watching. I wasn't expecting, it's expecting this. Has Guy Ritchie done? I mean, any action films, really?

I I can tell you I don't think off of memory I don't think straight up action I think action S because I mean he did the Sherlock Holmes movies

there's some action in there and I think he has elements of action I don't think he I think this is from what I can think of the first straight up action movie he's directing Aladdin too got to get that money

I guess the gentleman's got a TV series. I'm looking down his. He did the man from uncle. I didn't like that at all. Yeah, I guess he really hasn't done any like straight action ones. I mean, like Sherlock Holmes, those were good movies, but they were kind of actiony comedies, I would say. But this one was just straight.

King Arthur? I didn't like that one at all That was the one with the jacks right Yeah, it was a fucking stupid-ass movie I tapped out when he started shadowboxing I was like you're in medieval times What are you doing shadow boxing like you getting ready for the big fight It's weird

But I mean this this movie was tough man I mean everything about it all the characters that was in it um what was happening why um what was his oh h why he was doing what he was doing and it just

it all just made sense and it was a really good movie um Scott Eastwood man he was he was hardcore in this movie um I can take him or leave him in movies I mean

yeah he looks just like his dad and you got the Eastwood name. But I mean, I think he's starting to come, come around to where he, I don't know as far as him being a lead actor. Yeah. I know he's done one of those cowboy movies.

I haven't seen it, but I saw that he was the lead in it. I want to watch it mainly because I like all his dad's little spaghetti westerns. But every time he's in films, I mean, he plays the roles he's supposed to play. So I think it's cool. If you guys have seen,

um, was it Texas chainsaw? I was shocked that he was in that. I had to go rewatch that one recently, but he was in that and he had a small role in Grand Torino and then whatever that cowboy movie was. I was cracking up.

When I realized that was him. Yeah, I didn't notice that was him the very first time. A long neighborhood. They will kick your ass. The little bit he had in Suicide Squad and all the movies he had done but um i think he can play a good he can play a good bad guy i know there's

rumors of them wanting to do a remake of dirty harry and having him be harry callahan yeah i don't think so you're not your dad i mean yeah you got your dad's blood pumping through your heart but nah i mean your dad is is harry callahan no no one else can do it but but you guys know Hollywood and I'm sure they're listening to me so they're gonna do it it's just a rumor right now I don't know if there's any truth to it but if they did do it I'd go watch it just to just because but if he was more like this plain dirty Harry than I can I can kind of get with it yeah Jeffrey Donovan um first movie I'd seen him in was a, was that Bluer Witch Book of Shadows? Yeah. I was the first movie. I see, every time I

see him in something, I, that's the movie I go to. Oh, it's like a burn notice and I've never seen that show. And he had a part in Sicario, I remember that. And a bunch of little TV shows and everything else

he's done. But he does his part. He can be a good action dude. He can be a good bad guy. or just a wise guy in this. Andy Garcia, it was good to see him pop up in this. I hadn't seen him in a while. I mean, he was, he's in it, but he's not very much. Like that paycheck.

Yeah. But I think out of the regulars of Guy Ritchie other than Jason Statham, Eddie Marsan, I want to say he's been in other movies. I could be wrong, but he just, I know he's got to act. accent from whatever country he's from but yeah he was in the gentleman yeah um and josh hardin it i like him in just about everything when he's doing serious roles i mean was that one when he couldn't get laid for uh 40 days and 40 nights yeah man one of my friends took me she loves him come let's go see let's go see it all i was like uh but uh we did uh my son and i we just watched um

hollow uh Halloween or h two uh he wanted to watch all the Halloween movies so we went through all the pick up the 4Ks right now Halloween 3 is the only one that I really want but since I've joined this Scream Factory group on on Facebook I've been on like a mad rampage buying nothing but though I mean the last 20 to 30 movies have been Scream Factory or shell factory. I mean, I just been

during the prime days and during Target's two for one, I was buying movies left and right and yes. I love Halloween. I love Halloween. The original John Carpenter and I love Halloween I love Halloween three.

I think that's the only one I might get, but I'm sure I'll maybe just the first three. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't need really need more Halloween one movies because I got, I don't know how many different steel books. And then the 4K1 came out and I just got the regular go around. I don't know. But we'll see. But definitely I'm getting Halloween three. But anyway, back to Ratham. Yeah, man. I just thought this was

an awesome film on what was going on and how ruthless these guys were. Everybody in it was pretty much ruthless that were bad guys in everything. I was a little lost in the first time I watched it because when we're not going to spoil it because this is a new movie a new film. I don't think it's out for sale yet. I know you can buy it like digitally, but it's not a, blue I'm hoping there's a steel book but probably there's not there's not I'm just gonna get the 4k one um but I mean Jason Statham Deshaar H he just shows up at this armored company and he won the very beginning of the film this is all stuff that's in the trailer there's a these guys in a armored truck

they're just talking about whatever and then they get held up by these construction workers and And then you really don't see anything. You just hear it. You hear gunshots. You hear a guy screaming outside of the truck. And that's how the movie begins. And then this is when we're introduced to H. Jason Statham's character where he goes, applies for a job at this armored truck company.

And he's just the mysterious man that walks off the street and gets the job. Bullet, Holmick-Calney or whatever. he gonna kill me until I remember his name and creep show but anyway he he kind of white moon

I love that I love creep show too and I love that story if I ever met him I would that's the only thing I would talk about like come on but he didn't write any of that he

yeah it was it was the time different times yeah because we We didn't, between this and stream fiends, we didn't talk about plenty of questionable casting. Different times in the 80, late 80s, everyone. So, a bullet kind of just shows him the ropes on what he's doing. First, he had to take some tests, driving the truck, shooting a gun, because these are armed,

secure, armed truck drivers. And then he just had some more introduced to the rest of the gang. all the guys at work for this armor truck company what was that young the young chick's name Dana Neumah Algar I think that's how you say your name That was about right

For some reason I can only remember boy sweat Because I was like that's your nickname Test what you're going with It was like everyone just got a nickname That worked at this truck company and they think i mean of course when you when you knew on the job everyone kind of gives the little hazing thing everyone was kind of just giving him shit and everything but uh he goes goes out for a couple jobs and then one of them yeah he gets held up by uh what's his name

uh post malone and his crew uh musically all right man you do your thing but acting uh i don't know He's kind of let me down and everything I've seen him. I'm going to say it again. You got to get that paycheck. Yeah. I'm sure he doesn't need it. And really quick, if you're a person that has tattoos all over your face, hey, man, do you. But for me personally, I'm like, I don't see it.

I don't see why people do it. But that's my opinion. Again, if you do it, cool. I can see one. Maybe one little, you know, but all over your face, yeah, I'm not with that either. So when these guys, these mask guys just pull up to this truck and they pretty much block them in. And then H is like he just, because what do you call it? the

I can't think of the words late everyone but when you get in this situation the truck driver or the company says just other than don't get out of the truck but if there's reason if there's any reasons that you're out of the truck just let them let them take it don't try to be a hero

but H was like fuck that and he just well I'll spoil this part This is in the very beginning of the film. But man, he just lights those fools up. Man, we're just a pistol. And just boom, boom, boom, boom. First, they're unloading the truck because I think they were going to kill one of the drivers that they had.

So he's unloading the, he's throwing the bags in the back of a pickup truck. And then he kind of throws one on the ground. And then they go, hey, man, it's fucking with us. And then they go, hey, man, you do that again, man. We're going to kill this dude. So he's like, all right. Sorry about that. As he throws another one into the truck, he's got his pistol and just whap,

wept, starts lighting up those fools, man. Just head shots all around. Yeah, which, mind you, he, when he got the job, he, everything was, uh, the minimum, uh, to, to get the job, like passing all the tests. So it's kind of surprising, I mean, not for me because it's Jason Statham, but I If you're not Jason Statham fan and seeing how he came into getting this job, it was surprising that, you know, he's just doing headshots, you know, one shot per person, you know. Yeah, because it wasn't, it was, it was precise.

It wasn't like he was just, he wasn't just pulling the trigger and bullets going anywhere. No, he was checking his fire and boom, boom, hitting everyone that he pointed the gun at. post Malone goes running away he just kind of walks after him and then he kind of likes him that was at the clip I played at the very beginning because he pulled he rolls up on him and oh he asked him like well who do you work for and he's like suck my dick you know what I said suck my fucking dig and then he just shoots up suck your owner whatever he said

oh and then once they get back to work is when That's when the story goes and the guys that were with him. I think Bullitt was with him. Let's them everybody know what he saw. White Moon. What he saw and what H did. And then everyone's just like, what, what, him? And at this point in the film, we see that he is, he is there for a reason.

Because there's a scene where he's trying to, he's getting. getting ready to punch out and he's like eyeing everybody's little punch cards that they got. And then he's really, he's looking for something. I'm sure the trailer spoiled, spoiled what was going on in the film, but we're not going to. But we find out that he's on a mission and why he is there at this armor truck company. So, but then that's what's where the, where the story goes. goes from there. And again, this is a film that jumps all over the

place because it'll be like the present time, then it'll go back a month or two. And then it'll jump forward again and all over the place. But when it does that, when the movie said and done, you do see why he's doing

all this. I mean, there was some, there was some scenes in it that were pretty ruthless. When they rolled into that that warehouse, when they were, where those dudes who were kidnapped those teenagers and were making videos. I was like, damn. But I mean, this is the deal with organized crime in L.A. And it just goes from there.

I mean, that's why I thought this story was, was awesome on what was going on and what his mission was that he needed to be accomplished. Because, I mean, when the movie was said and done, when it was over, I was like, Yeah. I had to clap because I was like, man, this was fucking awesome. And then I just hit rewind and watched it again. Yeah, I can't wait until this comes up, man. I'm buying this movie.

This movie was awesome. Yeah, I agree with you. I think with this and the gentleman, I think Guy Ritchie is kind of, I mean, he never left, but I think he's kind of back because he's putting out great films. And, yeah, I enjoyed the casting this. The action was great. Jason State, I mean, you know, he's trying to play the part. Like, you know, he's, he's like a regular guy trying to try to get this job in an armored truck.

But he's just, he's too cool. And he's too badass. And it kind of just, kind of just outweighs that whole persona he's trying to push. But, I mean, it works for the movie because nobody knows who he is. and um yeah the josh hartnett and this fucking boy sweatsh shit you remember when he was like starring in movies yeah he's just he's just showing that guy so he's just there i mean yeah i mean i mean i've liked him in the movies he's done i mean my favorite of josh hardin it is um 30 days night i love that movie but when he when he popped on the screen i was like oh cool i don't

was thinking he would have had a much bigger part in this. I mean, but all these actors that are in it, I mean, you've seen them in other films, but they all have pretty much the same screen time other than Jason Statham. You know, he's the main guy. Of course, he's going to be throughout the whole film. But everyone else that's in it, that you recognize in it, they all have the right amount of screen time and everything. They didn't just focus on one guy other than the main character.

So, I mean, I loved what was going on. And the story just, it played out. It had a beginning and middle and an end. And yes, it jumped all over the place, but it's still, it made a lot of good sense when the film was over. I mean, he, did he write this too? He was one of the co-writers. Okay. But one thing I would like to see.

we're not going to like you said we're not going to spoil it but the the kind of reveal of who h was or is and what he does in real life i kind of want a prequel movie of that yeah i was i mean i'm okay here's another scene when some guys try to rob the the truck again and he just steps out of the back and the robbers see him and then they're like fuck and then everyone did they just get out of here everyone jumped in the cars and takes off no not messing with that man

and there's like I said when you find out what he does I'm like I'm really because he's he's also with that what he does in his real life he's cold blooded with that too and I would

definitely be there for a prequel yeah i i would like to see what what he does uh i mean if yeah if they did a prequel to uh how he became who he was uh in l a in the l a crime world because i just i just thought that that whole crew he had was was tough i mean they were ruthless guys i mean were they good guys or bad guys i don't know i mean there wasn't really any good good good guys in this. It seemed like everybody was a bad guy, but I don't know, except for boy

sweat. I mean, the guys that were just honestly trying to just work but they got caught in the cross fire of what was going on in this. Yeah, this movie was good. Yeah. This movie is good. There's a lot of

gunfire in this movie and it was really cool. I really love this film. but yeah I can't we can spoil it but I don't know this movie is too new I think if you guys have not seen it yet I'm sure it'll be out for rental I'm surprised why it's not for rental

because you can buy it for 1999 on any of these things that the seller movies iTunes or Prime or whatever I think by the time listeners hear this it'll be for purchase digital and blue ray 4k all that stuff when does it come out do you know uh next week oh okay

great guy, Ritchie movie, lots of action, uh, a lot of like we mentioned a lot of the you might not know the actor's name but you definitely recognize them and uh yeah great movie i hope he gets a sequel prequel anything anything from from that comes out of this movie i think would be fantastic yep i hope that he continues this story and don't go overboard give us one more movie and then that's it don't keep making more because then that's when

he turns into the hero But, all right. Next up on the actual returns, we are going to talk about another new release, trying to get all the new releases out because it is finally getting them.

And I didn't even really watch anything in the TV section, but we had this huge two-hour conversation about everything that he had watched. So that's all.
