The runtime of an action movie might be constrained to a couple of hours, but when Jason Statham takes charge, its legacy outlives forever. Netflix, being the great connoisseur of iconic thrillers, has one of the actor's films, almost half a decade old, camping on its top 10 charts.

Statham's steely mix of physical precision, toughness, and natural charisma, together with director Guy Ritchie's vision, has produced some of the biggest and best thrillers of the genre. And this gritty heist-revenge thriller dominating Netflix is proof of its perennial rewatchablility.

Wondering which movie from 2021 is still afloat on the streamer's charts? 

Wrath of Man, which debuted in theaters on May 7, 2021, nationwide, and April 22, 2021, internationally, has become one of the Top 10 movies on Netflix in the United States. Gaining immense popularity on Netflix and other streaming platforms in late 2025, the film is now positioned as the second in the streaming titan's top 10 list.

On a budget of $40 million, the movie, based on the 2004 French film Cash Truck, grossed about $104 million worldwide and earned critical praise for its fun, action-packed ride. Rife with Jason Statham shooting, scheming, and cursing out loud, the film delivers exactly what his and Guy Ritchie's fans prefer. 

Ritchie's 2021 fast-paced, visually-enticing flick rightfully holds its ground on Netflix this holiday season, supported by a stellar cast including Holt McCallany, Jeffrey Donovan, Scott Eastwood, Jeffrey Donovan, Josh Hartnett, Laz Alonso, Raúl Castillo, DeObia Oparei, and Eddie Marsan. But that is not all, as the film packs in exciting cross-industry cameos, such as those of Post Malone as a truck robber, comedian Rob Delaney as Fortico's CEO, Andy García as FBI Agent King, and more.

Backed by cult favorite blockbuster franchises like The Expendables and Fast & Furious, Statham's magnetism remains so perpetually strong even after almost three decades of an illustrious career, that his film has even surpassed the rather recently released Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery on the Top 10 chart. Thus, proving that even older action films never go stale and can spark a new wave of interest.

More than the star power, what keeps Wrath of Man alive in the minds of action enthusiasts is its enticing adrenaline-fueled plot.

At its core, Wrath of Man is about H (Jason Statham), an enigmatic and aggressive new armored truck guard at Fortico Security, who gets involved in a robbery. Praised for his lethal combat skills and dexterity in neutralizing robbers, H excels at his job. 

However, as the plot thickens, though non-linearly, it uncovers his underlying motives of revenge and his dark, hidden past. The movie turns out to be a heist thriller with a mix of mystery and revenge, gradually disclosing H’s plan as he embarks on a calculated killing spree.

Lagging only behind a haunting South Korean disaster thriller, The Great Flood, Statham's Wrath of Man, still charting on Netflix, goes to show that its digital footprint is as remarkable as its COVID-ridden box-office fight.
