“Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant” is the true story, set in the Afghanistan War, of a local interpreter who risks his life to transport an injured American soldier across 100 kilometers of Taliban-infested mountains and deserts to safety. Director Guy Ritchie (“Aladdin” 2019) was in charge of this tightly directed film that has little down time or slow moments. Ritchie co-wrote the taut screenplay with Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim dominate the film as Sgt. Kinley and interpreter Ahmed, respectively. The supporting cast includes Alexander Ludwig, Anthony Starr, Emily Beecham, Jonny Lee Miller, Jason Wong, Sean Segar, and Bobby Schofield. The watchable “Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant” was a box office failure for STXfilms, Toff Guy Films, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
