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.

The script, besides being full of bad-guy clichés, doesn’t give the actors enough opportunities to work up a buddy rapport, though the glimmers of it that they are permitted are promising.

Really good film. Premise not new, but Travolta and Meloni as partners was great. I really thought at one point Meloni was done for surrounded by three murderous drug punks, one with a .45 cal handgun pointed at his head, another with some kind of nails coming out of bat, and a real big mean looking guy, well they were dispatched in surprising fashion and to that I say well done. Really good film about corruption, and where it stops, and just when you think everything is done, it's not, a little more to go. It was great I liked it.

Fantastic movie. One of the best I have ever seen. Great acting by John Travolta. Great revenge movie.I hope there is a sequel as it is one of the best movies of its type I have ever seen

If the film’s casual racism—the villains are almost all some shade of not-white—feels more perfunctory than malicious, it’s because it’s just another secondhand element in the collection of bad clichés passing for a script.

I am wrath is an action / crime movie with all the cliches of its kind. there is not anything here that we haven't already seen before. Still, "I am Wrath" shows to be good enough to provide entertainment as we stand still watching two great actors, John Travolta and Christopher Meloni, working together to achieve vengeance.

It wasn't bad, was watchable, but I think it was quite simplistic looking back at it. Travolta is good in it, but overall some of it could've been better plus it is predictable quickly who is the bad guy behind it all
