>look at this super duper heroic ex-heroin dealing afghan combating the taliban and saving some us special forces guy by single-handedly dragging him through half of afghanistan, now IMPORT THOUSANDS MORE AFGHAN REFUGEES
Yeah frick Guy fricking Ritchie, how many afghans is he housing in his multi-million dollar properties?
Definitely seething, was expecting kino from Ritchie but got one of the worst fricking propaganda pieces I've ever seen.
Frick Afghanistan. Look at it's current fricking state. Who'd want to coexist with those people in his own country?
>but muh hearts and mind
they were paying lip service to their then oppressors, same as they are currently doing to the Taliban. Though the Taliban supposedly at least deal with the little boy raping community instead of joining forces.
If you listen carefully when Homelander is informed by his computer lackey that Jake is the famous Jason Bourne he says “someone call Bagram, they might want to get an angel in the air” or words to that effect.
Basically Homelander’s group is able to contact the actual US military and say “we have your famous guy here in a sticky situation, if you want to help out that would be appreciated”. And so Bagram base deployed their fancy plane.
Well, he put his house on a mortgage.
But yeah, the whole shit was supposed to cost like 150k and I presume even if some private military somehow really does have such a plane, just a single use of it would cost way more than that
Movies about the military is literally propaganda. If China or north korea did this you would all lose your shit but the whole world eats this slop up everytiem
This isn't just the "we good, they bad. Pew Pew, freedom and democracy" type of military propaganda, it's "open your borders up to literal heroin dealing thugs because they are our heroic saviors"-propaganda, it's so absurd, you can hardly even make it up.
>it's "open your borders up to literal heroin dealing thugs because they are our heroic saviors"-propaganda, it's so absurd, you can hardly even make it up.
You are literally braindead and have literally zero critical reasoning left
>movie literally ends with text EXPLAINING the point of the movie >chudjaks incapable of individual thought, much less reading comprehensions can't understand the point so they make up their own meaning
the implication being that instead they (or other Afghans likely to be persecuted by the Taliban) should have been brought to safety in America, which is what anon said
why should I watch this film if I've already read the news reports and whole ass documentaries on this. Jake being mad and Ritche coke addeled camera work?
Don't put me on hold...
- John Kinley, frustrated white savior
Guy Ritchie would like for you to know that not all Muslims are bad. He'd also like to take specific ownership of this film by attaching his name to the title, perhaps to make it known that he does not wish to similarly own Operation Fortune, or perhaps to distinguish it from all the other films out there called The Covenant. Or maybe he just doesn't want you to make the mistake of thinking Clint Eastwood made this. We get a five minute montage of Ahmed Abdullah saving John Kinley's life, which includes hazards like rough terrain and massive walls of fire and many constipated close-ups of actor Dar Salim, and then later we get ten minutes of Kinley being put on hold back in the states, as he comes to realize it's going to take more than a few phone calls to rescue the man who saved his life, from hiding out in a hole under threat of a Taliban death sentence.
Guy Ritchie's The Covenant is a mess of oversimplification caused by too much plot. Structured as it is, in two clear parts, the film races through its story, connecting its dots conveniently and incoherently, until it just washes over the audience without resonance. Then there's the rot of a family of Muslims agreeing to help a seriously wounded Kinley because they "hate the Taliban," not because it's the humane thing to do, either betraying Ritchie's clear binary view of Afghans, or grand scale othering disguised as a plot twist. This is so far outside of the director's wheelhouse, how can it not be indicative of his political worldview, the very last rock I'd ever hope to overturn in his ramshackle filmography.
any muslim woman willing to take a photo with her face uncovered in a studio is already in the modern phase of feminism.
they usually have very powerful family members that can protect them from reprisals.
t.lived in kuwait and saudi - you see these prostitutes on insta promoting how "modern" these places are but if you don't have their clout you will get disappeared in a desert for doing the shenanigans they do.
Fricking Americans, always shooting people
Classic lmao
And its not even a school
Actually it's mostly an afghan heroin dealing thug who's doing most of the shooting, well him and the taliban.
You mean a glowie?

>member when the 'muricans came to aghanistan and collaborated with warlords who dressed little boys up in dresses and make-up to rape them?
He was a good friend...
awkward kino
How did a bunch of merchs had some super-duper CoD Air Force plane?
Even Wagner didn't had the high tech russian shit and they were practically a part of the russian army at that point
>didn't had
ESL website, bum

>Homelander
I watched all of Banshee and one season of The Goys and I didn't even recognize him.
You may have face blindness. It’s associated with autism.
not that anon but i literally thought that was bradley cooper until i read the credits
Nah, it's the scruffy hair and beard. And indeed, I also thought he looked more like Bradley Cooper here.
>is the famous Jason Bourne
Small correction!
He is not the famous Jason Bourne, he is the famous incapacitated victim who got saved by the afghan super soldier Ahmed (literally called just Ahmed)
>If John Kinley is popular with the Tali then Ahmed is the fattest fricking pig in the pen!
No he even says "oh my god it's Jason Bourne" when he discovers who he is. If you watch it back, it's there.
Apologies, had totally forgotten that after what felt like half the movie looking at an entirely helpless Gylenhaal.
Well, he put his house on a mortgage.

This is the literal fricking plot of the movie, have you even watched it?
no. its about how the us government did the translators dirty and left them there to die, the movie literally tells you that
>movie literally ends with text EXPLAINING the point of the movie
>chudjaks incapable of individual thought, much less reading comprehensions can't understand the point so they make up their own meaning

But its made by a bong, not even a mutt
You literally need to get the ok from the DoD before you can air any movie or show about the American military in the states
That's literally 100% untrue.
bongs are just discount mutts
>Movies about the military is literally propaganda.
This ,but its a good thing.
Too bad most countries suck at it.
China has military propaganda movies and I've watched some and even liked some. Doesn't mean I didn't want Japan ravaging them with the CPS.
it was pretty good. The most a movie ever made me actually feel in over a decade.
I was expecting some operatorkino, but was disappointed. Kinda mid action/gunfights
>Americans finally accepting they lost another war
the world is healing
Thank you Joe Biden 🙂 losing for America all over the world, inspirational president 🙂
It was a little over the top, but I enjoyed it a lot.
Just a sorta brutal "brotherhood that can arise between 2 men" kino.
Save one US special forces soldier and suddenly you're a hero, never mind the countless of lives your heroin business destroyed previously.
>But he is smart, big and alpha and he does pew pew shooting
top fricking kek
Who let the soiboys in here
It was honestly fricking terrible.
Director's style is also fricking obnoxious with constant slow-mo and shitty montages and frantic cuts.
it's garbage, first half is pretty good except for the video game action scenes
>US soldiers always get shot in the cheek and the bullet hole is a poorly shopped red circle
Film was ass.
Every soldier in that movie looks like a model homosexual from some barbershop ad.
Don't put me on hold...

>le trad muslim wife
>has piercing on her fricking nose
Her husband was/is in the herein trade and is waging his own war against the taliban for personal reasons..
Thuglife, thugwife. Guess to Ritchie that also applies in afgfhanistan.
moron

Did they really just leave translators to die ? If so, why?
Black person, mutts left a whole army worth of equipment and weapons behind, you think they'd care for a few translators?
Ritchie is a fricking hack
