Pushing his signature style aside, ‘Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant’ is nothing like what you expect from the director — and it’s impressive.
The Big Picture Most true film aficionados can spot a Guy Ritchie film within just a few minutes of watching. The British director has a patented and unique style that he has parlayed into several fantastic UK mobster movies like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and the action-adventure franchise that is Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. But his most recent effort is about as far away from his signature style as you can get.
What Is ‘Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant’ About? In March 2018, United States troops were still in Afghanistan after first entering the country and region more than 15 years earlier. Gyllenhaal plays Master Sergeant John Kinley, who heads up an outfit that is charged with tracking down IEDs and other enemy weapons and armories.
These are worthy war film entries made by great directors, but they fail to take a comprehensive view of all the people involved in the decades-long war effort. What Ritchie does with The Covenant has propelled it to the most searched movie on Prime Video right now. And it's the relationships, bonds, promises, and the human element of the players from all sides that make it so intriguing and a worthwhile emotional investment on top of being a smart action war movie.
The only escape for Ahmed and his family is to get out of the country, and they will need the American-sponsored visas that are supposed to be awarded to all foreign translators. But Ahmed and his family don't have enough time to wait on the bureaucratic red tape, so Kinley, who is racked with guilt starts to hit the booze as memories start to resurface, and decides to take action.
