Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is a new spy thriller directed, part written and produced by Guy Ritchie, director of Snatch and the live-action Aladdin movie.
In the film, MI6 agent Orson Fortune (Jason Statham) is recruited by international intelligence's Five Eyes. Together with CIA agent Sarah Fidel (Aubrey Plaza), they must persuade Hollywood star Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) to help them infiltrate the network of arms dealer Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant). Greg is in the business of selling new, deadly weapon technologies, with which the buyer can disrupt the world order.
Guy Ritchie knows how to make this film another entertaining espionage thriller, which he further fills with light comedy moments. Different espionage groups try to achieve the same final mission in the film and playfully ridicule each other during this mission. For example, the film contains entertaining espionage self-deprecating comedy. Guy Ritchie and the co-writers of the film also try to keep the story interesting with twists. In the end, the story has too many characters and twists to be able to clearly follow the story to the end. If the movie had been a bit shorter, it could have had a more understandable ending. Problems for the characters to continue with their missions are sometimes solved too simply. Some of these problems are also solved in a similar way, which can sometimes make it seem a bit too bland and simple. Guy Ritchie knows how to portray the film beautifully and realistically and shows well some of the different places where the film takes place.
Most of the film cast also know how to provide good and appropriate acting. This is Guy Ritchie's fifth film with Jason Statham. Together they provide entertaining action scenes, in which Jason Statham emerges well as the leading role of the film. Together with Aubrey Plaza as his technical right hand, the two also manage to provide entertaining moments where the two try to work together in contradictory ways. Aubrey Plaza also knows how to appropriately use her own awkward and sarcastic form of comedy in the film. Hugh Grant also comes across as a nice corrupt arms dealer, who also has his own ways of humor.
This film was first supposed to be released in cinemas in 2022, but due to current events, they have postponed the film. Some villains in the story are Ukrainian and because of the war between Ukraine and Russia, the film has been postponed. In this way, Ukraine will be less in a bad light during this dark and heavy period.
