Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times May 13, 2016
Travolta, who took over the role from Nicolas Cage, and Meloni, who's looking more and more like Robert De Niro every day, have a loose, easy chemistry that goes a long way to enliven all that overworked familiarity. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times May 12, 2016
The script, besides being full of bad-guy clichs, doesn't give the actors enough opportunities to work up a buddy rapport, though the glimmers of it that they are permitted are promising. Go to Full Review

It's yet another entry in the endless cycle of middle-aged vigilante rampages-a formula that no one but Liam Neeson seems capable of actually wringing entertainment from, try as his various fiftysomething peers might. Go to Full Review

2/5
There's little in the way of character development, and no true sense of jeopardy, while a wooden Travolta scowls his way through skirmishes with cartoonish villains. Go to Full Review

I Am Wrath is about as clichd as clichd gets when it comes to the action/revenge genre. Go to Full Review

It's ultimately rather astonishing the degree to which I Am Wrath slowly-but-surely alienates the viewer over an often interminable running time... Go to Full Review

Abraham S Mar 20, 2019 Guess I am a Travolta fan. John is genius in taking on these tough guy roles. Well played a great actor, action packed story line and of course thriller. This was an edge of seat film for me about a man taking back the life taken from him. Take a few minutes and power up the Roku you can find it online for free and watch Travolta in his well don baddazzery. See more
Kylo S Jan 27, 2019 This movie had my eye the past couple of years largely due to the awful poster and the idea of Travolta doing DTV.. I figured it would be bad. However I did some looking into it and I found out it was directed by Chuck Russell who did the Mask and NOES 3 and I got excited. Also seen Chris Meloni and Rebecca De Mornay was in it so I said eff it and bought the DVD for 4 bucks at Wal Mart and made a late night viewing of it. The result: I enjoyed it WAY more than I expected too. It's nothing groundbreaking in a grand way but it's the first true buddy viglante flick I've ever seen which itself is a big deal. Death Wish 3 teased it but it never got there; this one however went all the way with it and it was a blast. In some ways it's a cheapo Taken but that's not a minus imo. It reminds me a lot of Death Wish and that's not a minus either. Only real gripes I have is not enough of De Mornay and the first 20-30 minutes kinda drag but it gets going and the climax is quite tense. The film itself is very tense and it makes for a fun ride. Acting's hit and miss; Travoita and Meloni had an awesome chemistry toghether and it's a pairing that ended up working quite well. De Mornay for what short time she had wasn't bad either just wish there was more of her. Their daughter wasn't bad as was her bubby. The baddies are cliched but the main thugs were hateable especially one with the face tat and that stupid look he gives lol. The cops were great at being cowards and the Governor worked well as the actor who played him is great at slimeballs. Directing wish Russell does an excellent job; this movie was quite lucky to have him. It's a shame he's doing DTV work as he always had a steady hand but he does well here and I loved his camera angels in certain scenes. It got up to 4.0 instead of 3.5 due to his direction. Not bad for a DTV movie; Saban's trying that more now and I plan on viewing more of their stuff. This one's going on my favorite action flicks list for sure; one of the few DTV films I've really liked. See more
Abraham W Nov 20, 2018 Ever wonder how a movie can get a 1% on RT? Look no further. First off, the opening screen of the trailer should raise a red flag right off the bat; it's a film produced by four seperate studios, meaning that no one studio would risk its distribution alone, and required hedging their Travolta bet on the backs of 3 others. Two: The trailer essentially summed up 3/4 of the entire film, the end. The movie is so bad that I honestly wonder wtf Travolta would attach himself to drek like this, or Gotti, or those aweful hair plugs. See more
Draco L Sep 12, 2018 Very good sad movie very funny very much cool action pluss johan travolta is very cool in it. boom i give this a 66.66666/70
Albus R Aug 11, 2018 John Travolta gets revenge on the people who had his wife killed. It is a satisfying thriller, but I am not sure that the religious aspects were fitting for this movie. (First and only viewing - 8/5/2018) See more
Albus S Jul 14, 2018 As for any project Travolta does the difference and it works perfectly : Means business at 100%.
