Content:  In this podcast, we compare the remake “Wrath of Man” (USA 2021) with the original “Cash Truck” (France 2004). Unfortunately, this can only be done by mentioning a few details.  For this reason, there are a few SPOILERS that can’t be avoided.  We note that "Wrath of Man" is a typical Jason Statham action film characterized by frequent action sequences and a predictable plot, catering to audience expectations.  In contrast, the original "Cash Truck" is a more psychological thriller with a slower pace, a less experienced protagonist, and an unpredictable, anti-Hollywood ending.  We highlight that while the remake clearly defines its villains, the original focuses more on the desperate protagonist's journey, with significant differences in the portrayal of violence and the overall narrative structure.  “Wrath of Man” (USA 2021)  Plot:  In Wrath of Man, Jason Statham plays a mysterious security guard working for a cash transport in Los Angeles. After a brutal robbery, his past as an elite soldier seeking revenge is revealed. The film delivers action-packed scenes, shootouts, and a predictable plot, relying on Guy Ritchie’s style, while the villains’ motives are clearly fleshed out.  Cash Truck (FRA 2004)  Plot:  Cash Truck (Le Convoyeur) portrays a desperate man working as a cash transporter, planning revenge without a clear strategy. The film is a psychological drama, documenting the job before the plot unexpectedly escalates. Unlike the action-heavy remake, the action remains gritty, unpredictable, and anti-Hollywood, focusing on the protagonist’s inner turmoil.
