GuyRitchieTheCovenant Review: A Clear Message About War, Humanity & Survival
The War in Afghanistan has been a resource for storytelling within various movies over the last decade. Guy Ritchie, known for his extravagant characters and quirky/fun dialogue, is the latest director to set his sights on this genre of filmmaking. From a script collaboration with Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies, the trio detail a tale of survival and debt repayments through a U.S. Army Sergeant and Afghan interpreter.
Fans of Guy Ritchie as a director will find that this film offers similarities in his traditional storytelling but contains a great balance of substance and heart to carry the story through. The narrative isn’t as lighthearted as some of his previous work, but Ritchie masterfully finds ways to incorporate humor in his dialogue and scenes while amplifying emotionally compelling interactions between the two leads.
Ritchie’s direction is also strong here, as he amplifies his skill for violent sequencing. He showcases scenes in which it appears a nearing positive outcome will occur for Ahmed and John, but the uncertainties of war take over, leading to action-packed sequences delivered with perfect intensity. Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant is also exemplary in showcasing various elements of war without being overly preachy about either side.
