In what is probably cult director Guy Ritchie’s best action film, Jason Statham leaves a trail of destruction behind him

In what is probably cult director Guy Ritchies best action

The ZDF Monday cinema has it today Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie’s fourth film together. Cash Truck, the remake of the French film of the same name, not only stands out refreshingly from the duo’s other films, the film also impresses with first-class action sequences.

That’s what Cash Truck by Guy Ritchie is about

In the original, Cash Truck is called “Wrath of Man”, which gets to the core of the story. The newly minted security guard Patrick Holl (Jason Statham), who eliminates a group of robbers right at the start of his job, is hiding a dark secret. Cash Truck talks about this in several flashbacks complicated revenge plan of a professional criminalwho ends up on a collision course with a no less well-organized gang of robbers (Jeffrey Donovan, Scott Eastwood and others).

The time jumps are one of director Guy Ritchie’s trademarks, However, in terms of tone and character ensemble, Cash Truck differs greatly from other works by the Bube Dame König GrAs director. The film is told soberly and methodically, just as “Patrick” goes about his plan, and this applies to both the dialogue and the reduced drawing of the characters.

At the same time, Cash Truck still feels like a Guy Ritchie film, just one that doesn’t get too caught up in its clever ideas and an aura of coolness, but rather concentrates on the violent core of its story, with precisely arranged shootouts .

So Cash Truck has less in common with The Gentlemen, but will particularly appeal to fans of heist films like Rififi, Heat or Criminal Squad.
