    @davidjroth.bsky.social not a Defector pitch, but: Guy Ritchie recently made a movie about the Afghan War called "Guy Ritchie's The Covenant." My former student ESL student and her husband, both Afghan refugees, want to watch it. I want them to watch it and give the Afghan perspective on this movie.

    13. Guy Ritchie's The Covenant -- Solid military movie that was somewhat of a cross between Black Hawk Down and Bat 21. 3.5 stars #Movies #MovieSky youtu.be/02PPMPArNEQ?...

    Had this recently with Guy Ritchie's The Covenant. Technically excellent movie, very enjoyable... but just absolutely 2002-era view of the War on Terror. Like at the end the cavalry shows up and it's an AC-130 with "US Air Force" prominently in frame.

    Not the best movie I’ve seen this year but not the worst movie I’ve seen this year either. The “bond” “covenant” moments were kinda weird. Some parts tried to emphasize the moment for too long. Like yo I get it, let’s move on with the movie. A movie ALL from Ahmed’s perspective would be a MUCH better movie.

    #MovieReview #TheCovenantMovie "The Covenant" is a gripping war film based on true events that captivates viewers from start to finish. Clocking in at two hours, the movie succeeds in keeping audiences actively engaged, focused, and enthusiastic throughout its runtime. Set in Afghanistan, this war movie stands out from generic war films, offering an incredible and compelling narrative that keeps viewers fixated and immersed in the story. The film delivers gut-wrenching moments, with Jake…

    Versatile, brutal and gritty - the right movie with the right Director and main actor. Guy Ritchie is well known by his frenzied and energetic filming style and this one not escape the pattern - as with Jake Gyllenhaal that is a well suited actor for action movies (ans strange to remember him in Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain to show as versatile as he can be). Gritty and realistic story (not based on a single story but in a collective of stories of true events), where a US MArine saves a…

    After watching the movie 'Guy Ritchie's The Covenant', I was reminded that the US military cannot be trusted and anybody overseas that chooses to help the US military in exchange for an empty promise of protection are out of their fucking minds.

  • MovieGuys @MovieGuysTMDB reviews · Jun 13, 2023

    This strikes me as a "feel good movie" pitched at US audiences. It ultimately makes all the right sounds about military honour and commitment, even when confronted by stubborn bureaucracy and indifference. That said, its only at the end, when you read the "fine print", (300+ interpreters and their families dead) you get to see the scope of the US's lack of commitment to those who collaborated with it, in Afghanistan. I guess the obvious elephant in the living room, is should the US have invaded…

  • CinemaSerf @Geronimo1967TMDB reviews · Jun 4, 2023

    Seems to be a growing trend nowadays to lead with the credentials of the director in order to get eyeballs onto a movie. That's what seems to have happened here, but once you're watching it turns out to be little better than a derivative vehicle for an unremarkable Jake Gyllenhaal who gets to tug at the heart strings on behalf of those vital interpreters (50,000 of them, apparently) who were abandoned to the Taliban when the allied forces quit Afghanistan. In this rather procedural effort, his…

    A staggering tale of an unhinged perseverance which is backed by a captivating screenplay. Air is a story so frivolous and flat , that the courage of Ben Affleck should be lauded with our hats down. A simple plot which would fit within 3 lines of a page is magically presented to us as a fascinating and appealing peace of history which changed the strature of business in sports in America and revolutionized a global culture, Nike's collaboration with the greatest basketball player in the history…

  • Nathan @TitanGusangTMDB reviews · May 16, 2023

    After Guy Ritchie’s last film, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, was an absolute disaster, I seriously considered skipping his most recent outing, The Covenant. However, I'm very happy I didn't because it's become one of my favorite films of the year so far. The direction is excellent, with amazing up-close shots and zooms that really add to the intense nature of the film. The first hour flew by with fantastic build-up and character development. The action was superb and brutally realistic,…

  • Louisa Moore - Screen Zealots @screenzealotsTMDB reviews · Apr 23, 2023

    Director Guy Ritchie is no stranger to crafting exciting action films, but his latest project is quite different than his previous work. The narrative is linear, there aren’t any montages, and the story isn’t about criminals, gangsters, or Brits. Fans of Ritchie will absolutely still recognize his visual style (hello, overhead shots) and testosterone-fueled themes, but “The Covenant” is a more dramatic, mature, and restrained work from the legendary director. Set during the war in Afghanistan…
