Quotes
Det. Gibson:
You sure, Mr. Hill? Now you said he was wearing a hoodie. You had blood in your eyes. Did you see his face?
Stanley:
No, I didn't... I didn't have blood. I wasn't hit yet. That, that's him.
Det. Walker:
You told us in your statement it was a tattoo of a bat. You seemed pretty sure. This is a homicide case. We can't go on a guess.
Stanley:
No, I thought it was a bat. But it's a fly. And that's him. I'm certain of it.

I Am Wrath has just about everything you are expecting. Lots of gun fire. Lots of bodies. Abundant amount of violence and gore to earn it's R rating. So why does it fail to satisfy so many movie goers? Well, I think I've identified a few problems that some people may have, hence leading to many mixed reviews. First of all, and you will realize this for yourself after watching this for at least a half an hour, and that's the fact that this movie just feels like it has entered the scene very, very late. Straight and to the point, it feels more like a 90's movie, not 2016. That's not to say it's not a good movie, I felt it excelled. Director Chuck Russell has come back from his very long hiatus, and is back to demonstrate his powerful directing talents once again. However, a good movie cannot overturn the simple fact that the "vengeance is mine" genre has been played out, especially over the past ten years alone. Were seeing more and more of these, leaving an over saturated market of films that have been made so close together, it almost forces us to compare them to each other, and we somehow have to distinguish the difference between them all without having any hard feelings for any of them. For example, I thought this film was following the same footsteps as Law Abiding Citizen, however, when the story went in a different direction, I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed. Were not exactly looking for the same thing, were demanding something better, something we haven't seen before. Unfortunately, for I Am Wrath, it fails to deliver anything that we haven't already seen a million times before. In spite of it all, we have some powerhouse performances from a (aged to perfection) seasoned actor named John Travolta, I'm sure most of you have heard of him. Meloni is quite awesome in his role, coming to the aid of Travolta often, even though he's quite convinced each and every time that he doesn't need his help. We do have quite a few quotable lines, plenty of action, however, there are plenty of boring, long sequences that are just too long. It can be a little annoying at times, too. ( I don't know about you, but I prefer to be seeing text messages as they are seeing it, I don't like reading text messages displayed right next to their heads. It was my number one complaint with the movie.) The story is simple: A man's wife is murdered, the cops let the killer walk away Scot free, and were left with a man taking the law into his own hands. Any questions? Although the body count is a bit high, you're going to have to wait at least an hour before that happens, so please be patient. All in all, IAW has it's moments, and it's certainly a great comeback for Chuck, he's certainly come a long way from films such as Eraser and the classic A Nightmare On Elm Street 3. I think 70 percent of people in general will enjoy a film as such in its genre. The other 30 percent? Well, I am sorry.
