About I Am Wrath
I Am Wrath centers on Stanley Hill, a quiet man whose life shatters when his wife is killed and the people meant to protect them fail to bring the killers to justice. After a plea for accountability stalls amid a web of police corruption, Stanley refuses to stand by and wait for the system to deliver closure. He taps into his own resources, connects with old allies, and begins a personal investigation that runs parallel to the official inquiry. As evidence surfaces and the stakes rise, he confronts dirty cops, dangerous criminals, and a moral line that grows increasingly hard to cross. The film focuses on a man driven by grief to confront a broken justice machine, with relentless momentum and a shadowed moral calculus.
Directed by Chuck Russell from a screenplay by Paul Sloan and Yvan Gauthier, I Am Wrath was released in 2016. John Travolta stars as Stanley Hill, supported by Christopher Meloni, Amanda Schull, Sam Trammell and Patrick St. Esprit, with a production budget of 18 million dollars.
Box office earnings are not highlighted in the provided data, and no worldwide gross figure is listed. The film arrived as a compact, mid range action thriller aimed at audiences looking for brisk vigilante justice rather than prestige.
Critics offered mixed responses, noting Travolta's steady presence and the film's straightforward pacing while some argued the drama relies on familiar genre beats. The story probes grief, accountability, and how far a person will go when trust in institutions evaporates. Its restrained tone and practical action sequences keep the focus on character rather than spectacle.
There are no major award nominations documented for I Am Wrath, suggesting it did not compete for top honors. The reception centers on its propulsive energy and performances rather than critical prestige. In the end, the film registers as a solid genre piece that satisfies action fans.
