Trailer for Guy Ritchie and Jake Gyllenhaal's Action War Thriller THE COVENANT
MGM has dropped the first trailer for director Guy Ritchie’s next film The Covenant. The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal, and it looks like an incredibly intense action thriller that tells a great story. I really liked what I saw in this trailer and Ritchie seems to have made an awesome movie!
Gyllenhaal plays Sgt. John Kinley, “who is on his last tour of duty in Afghanistan when he is teamed with local interpreter Ahmed (Dar Salim) to survey the region. When their unit is ambushed on patrol, Kinley and Ahmed are the only survivors, and with enemy combatants in pursuit, Ahmed risks his life to carry an injured Kinley across miles of grueling terrain to safety. Back on U.S. soil, Kinley learns that Ahmed and his family were not given passage to America as promised. Determined to protect his friend and repay his debt, Kinley returns to the warzone to retrieve Ahmed and his family before the local militias reach them first.”
This is definitely a different kind of movie for Ritchie, who has never really made a move quite like this before. I really like that he is playing with different stories and genres. He’s come such a long way since Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and he’s become quite an incredibly talented filmmaker and storyteller.
The Covenant will be released in theaters on April 21st. I’ll be looking forward to watching this movie! Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think!
