Re: I Am Wrath
I am Wrath stars an excellent Travolta and with a very good part from Christopher Meloni as well. Unfortunately the film is very run-of-the-mill and doesn't have much going for it, as it's just a pretty basic revenge plot. Travolta carries the film to an acceptable level though, that I enjoyed enough for it's run time. It has its silly tropes, but also has it's moments that keep it light at times, preventing it to ever become a drag.

I Am Wrath
Travolta strikes again! I liked this film. I am pretty sure the writer was playing Max Payne at the time he "thought up" the idea, but it's miles better than the 2008 film adaptation. Getting shot is like grazing your knee, when an incident breaks out you always have three-minutes before the cops come, and Armenians are not very nice people. These, as well as some awful acting, are just some of the ludicrous action-movie conventions on display here from Chuck Russell, the director of Eraser and the producer of Collateral, but nevertheless it is always a delight to see John Travolta perform (he clearly cares about every performance) and to see some John Wick-style gunfights. Travolta's late, albeit under-the-radar, action career is proving strong. If you're a Travolta fan, you'll love this movie. I am, so I would love to see an I Am Wrath 2 where he clears up the streets of Sao Paulo.

Re: I Am Wrath
Glad you liked it ever more. If they're putting a decent budget on it (I Am Wrath 2 where he clears up the streets of Sao Paulo), this would be awesome.

Re: I Am Wrath
I mean, that was just a joke. I don't expect for one second that a sequel to a Travolta film will ever be made again. But I can dream. Haha.

Re: I Am Wrath
HIs DTV has been solid if unspectacular. This, Killing Season, and even the Forger are all pretty manage what they are suppose to do..
