Guy Ritchie's The Covenant

This is the kind of movie that has you feeling like you are right there in the world of the movie, there's not many movies that fully immerse me like this one that have been made recently, this one's a really good one. There is violence, but it's not overdone and what they do show is relatively realistic violence that helps sell the immersion. The plot is solid, and acting was some of the best I've seen recently. Very good movie to the point where I made a rotten tomatoes account just to review it.

This is a tremendous must see film. It’s one of the best films of the last few years for sure and Jake Gyllenhaal’s best work. If you haven’t seen it, watch it now.

Wow amazing film, emotional, realistic, fast paced, good characters. I'm not giving it 5 *s because it's extremely violent and not exactly light hearted entertainment. But it's a great film!

The Covenant est un film puissant, à la fois sobre, humain et nécessaire. Il raconte une histoire qu’on ne voit pas assez souvent à l’écran : celle d’une promesse faite dans le sang et l’urgence, et d’un homme qui refuse de tourner le dos à celui qui lui a sauvé la vie. Guy Ritchie, qu’on connaît pour son style flashy et ses dialogues nerveux, signe ici un film radicalement différent. Pas de gimmick, pas de surenchère : juste une mise en scène maîtrisée, centrée sur les regards, les silences, et le poids des choix. Jake Gyllenhaal incarne un soldat tourmenté avec justesse, mais c’est Dar Salim, dans le rôle d’Ahmed, qui porte l’âme du film. Son interprète afghan est digne, courageux, bouleversant, et rappelle que derrière chaque guerre, il y a des visages qu’on oublie trop facilement. The Covenant parle de loyauté, de conscience, et de ce que cela coûte d’être un homme de parole dans un monde qui préfère l’oubli au devoir moral. Un film dur, sans artifices, mais profondément touchant.

I luv it!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gyllenhaal and Dar Salaam as the leads are solid and believable. It's an inspiring true life story. I would give it 5 stars except some action scenes could be better and some of the "close calls" with the Taliban seem exaggerated.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

overall, a good film. My only issue was that it was slow at the beginning. took a minute for it to really take off.

Didn't pay attention to this movie at all when it first came out. Then saw it on Prime and remembered oh yeah, Jake Gyllenhaal was in this. Really good movie. Pacing is well done. Entertaining. Good script, and good acting all around. Special call out to Dar Salim as Ahmed, he brought that character to life and nailed it.

This is an amazing film. The lead roles are perfectly cast and offer stunning performances. It is an emotional and wonderfully made film with heavy action sequences. One of the best war films recently made and timely at that.
