Sergeant John Kinley (Jake Gyllenhaal) is finishing his tour of duty in Afghanistan. On one of his last missions he is accompanied by a guide-translator Ahmed (Dar Salim). Suddenly the heroes come under fire - of the whole group only the wounded Kinley and Ahmed manage to survive. They need to do the impossible to reach the border and safe territory. John's sense of duty keeps him busy - he decides to risk everything to go back for Ahmed and his family. Both are hunted and have to act alone, but he realizes that he cannot leave his comrade in harm's way.
Guy Ritchie's the Covenant 4K ReviewThis movie demonstrates a covenant.... Or to Jake Gyllenhaal's character... a commitment. This movie is a great representation of love in war situations and paying your debts and responsibilities to others. Guy Ritchie does an amazing job of portraying a brotherhood in war between two different races on the same team.
This relationship did not start off very strong, but they soon became brothers through each other's major sacrifices. This is something that occurs all the time in war times and that is what Guy Ritchie wanted to demonstrate in this film.
Amazing film and flawless for the concept. Absolutely recommend!
