🥜 Guy Ritchie has been CRANKING out movies
The Covenant hits theaters
In the past five years, Guy Ritchie has put out five movies. Ritchie must have watched The Wolf of Wall Street and taken McConaughey’s advice to heart.
Starting in 2019, Ritchie released Aladdin and The Gentlemen in the same year. Two years later came Wrath of Man. This year, Ritchie goes back to back again with Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre and The Covenant, which hits theaters this weekend. Each of these films has kind of been unique in style and tone - an interesting fact considering his early films were all very much of the same flair and easily attributable as a “Guy Ritchie movie”. The Gentlemen was something of a return to that style, with its embellishments, its playfulness with the story’s timeline, and of course very English nature. The Covenant is a much different film. The story follows a former U.S. Army sergeant (Jake Gyllenhaal), who returns to Afghanistan in an attempt to rescue an interpreter from the Taliban.
Also seeing a wide release this weekend is Ari Aster’s Beau is Afraid, which to be frank looks absolutely batshit crazy, but we’re guessing will rake in a slew of awards for Joaquin Phoenix, so you might want to check it out.
