Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant (formerly The Interpreter) comes from Guy Ritchie, doing a Michael Bay impression (minus the waving American flags). It’s about a soldier in Afghanistan (Jake Gyllenhaal) whose interpreter (Dar Salim) risks his own life to carry the injured soldier across miles of grueling terrain to safety. The Taliban is after the interpreter for saving the American soldier and the United States has abandoned him, so Gyllenhaal’s soldier returns to Afghanistan to save the interpreter and his family. Hoo-rah.

The film also stars Alexander Ludwig and Antony Starr. It looks great, if you like war movies that look like they have been sitting on a shelf since The Hurt Locker.

Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant hits theaters in April. It will be released internationally on Amazon Prime.
