Saw it. Ritchie took some liberties w some of the military stuff and tactics but all in all a really good movie. The guy playing the interpreter did a really good job. Look forward to seeing him in more roles. Never a dull moment in the movie. If you are thinking about it, go see it. You won’t be sorry.

That title is such a turn off.

Haven’t seen Swept Away but yes King Arthur was bad….really bad. Other than that love the rest of his movies. Lock Stock, Snatch, Rocknrolla, The Gentlemen….

Thought the same thing but it’s takes about 30 seconds to IMDB The Covenant and understand why he had to do that.

I've seen Revolver twice, and still don't understand it.

Just got out of it and it was fantastic.
Highly recommend.

As another poster said the guy who played the interpreter did a good job.
Jake Gyllenhaal with another top notch performance as well.

I saw it. It’s pretty fricking good. More than a few things that are inaccurate but some things were dead on.

The mountain range at Bagram brought back mad memories. Driving through shite in a HMMWV stripped down, not very real at all, lol.

The Terp is a bad arse. I had one a lot like him in Iraq named Farid. This movie is worth a watch, well done.

It made its way to streaming, and I got to the part about 40 minutes in where they got ambushed and my Internet shite the bed. I was enjoying it too as of the ambush. It started a little slow

It’s kinda how shite goes down though. It really hits some spots right on the head.

I didn't get really bad or even bad out of it. Thought it was just fine but definitely below the usual Guy Ritchie standard, just all around different from his works.

When I walked out of the movie, and thought I hope he gets to play the Iron Sheik in a movie.

Just watched it. Solid, entertaining film.
The wooden cart was a little contrived, but maybe it was more of a metaphor.

I don't understand how these immigrants from down south come here everyday and we couldn't bring these guys and their families over.
