"Follows Sergeant John, who on his last tour of duty in Afghanistan is teamed with local interpreter Ahmed, who risks his own life to carry an injured John across miles of grueling terrain to safety."

 

Interesting that this will be released before Ritchie's Statham film, Operation Fortune...

edit (Feb. 13th): Operation Fortune now releases about a month and a half before this one.

I had no idea Guy Ritchie had something else coming out! I thought his next movie was whenever Operation Fortune finally released.

 

This sounds totally up my alley too. Love epic survival/perseverance stories

looks very boring

The middle east tends to be box office poison for war movies. I'll credit Ritchie with trying new things though.

Are people not embarrassed by this war at this point?

This looks boring as hell. So been here done that.

This isn't doing it for me. Looks dry

Five years ago it would've been surprising to see Gyllenhaal in a movie like this, now these types of action flicks are seemingly all he makes. Stronger going nowhere (those emails thanking critics who didn't even see the movie lol) must've caused him to throw in the towel on his awards chasing.

Only reason I'm interested in this is Ritchie. Disappointed we never got to see Operation Fortune tbh.

Welp, now Operation Fortune's releasing on March 3rd. I wonder if these films will benefit from being released close to one another.
