Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant Review

The movie is not based on a true story, but the script –– written by Ritchie, Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies –– does channel the experiences of a lot of troops and citizens in Afghanistan (and there are images of real-life heroes over the end credits).

‘Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant’ follows US Army Sergeant John Kinley (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Afghan interpreter Ahmed (Dar Salim). Together with the likes of Charlie “Jizzy” Crow (Sean Sagar), Joshua JJ Jung (Jason Wong), Eduardo ‘Chow Chow’ Lopez (Christian Ochoa) and Tom ‘Tom Cat’ Hancock (Rhys Yates), the squad’s mission is to hunt down and tag Taliban explosives construction locations in Afghanistan so they can be destroyed.
