Certainly not without its flaws, but Wrath of Man still manages to be a lean, mean, fighting machine with intense action and reliably strong teamwork from Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie.

As fierce, larger-than-life and unpredictable as its charismatic but incorrigible protagonist, A Face in the Crowd is a cauldron of seething rage and potent commentary stirred by Elia Kazan's snappy direction, Budd Schulberg's bleak script and a fantastic cast led by a ferociously committed performance from Andy Griffith as the demagogue in denim.

This could have all been avoided if only Johnny had cared.
