Episode #313: Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre

Welcome one and all. It's a new podcast day for the Reel Film Nerds. For today’s episode Ma, Mike and Matt chat about Guy Ritchie’s latest film Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre. Bonus discussions include Legion, death, and Yes Man. This is not your typical Guy Ritchie film. The story is told directly, there are not a ton of characters, and there are no big twists or reveals. Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is not a bad film just not what your hosts have come to expect from Ritchie. It’s a spy satire with some really funny moments but not enough. It was great seeing Josh Hartnett back on screen and in a somewhat starring role. Aubrey Plaza, Hugh Grant, and of course Jason Statham all do great jobs. Operation Fortune is just missing something keeping it from hitting that incredible film rank like previous Ritchie flicks. Ma and Mike agree Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is a solid 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really expected more but he still really enjoyed himself. He awards the film 3 out of 5 Reels. Mike, Matt, and even Ma just can’t stay away from the theaters in 2023. For next week they will report back about the Sci-Fi dinosaur thriller 65 starring Adam Driver.
