Mini-Transmission: Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre

from Movie Memory Machine · host Grunt Work Podcasts

"Guy Ritchie’s love of wine, grills, and chess somehow birthed a spy flick—and yes, it’s as weird as it sounds." Episode Description In this mini-episode, Landen and Truman continue their exploration of Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre. They uncover the real espionage behind Guy Ritchie’s filmmaking process: turning a $50 million budget into a wine-fueled grilling session. From Hugh Grant’s BBQ skills to Jason Statham punching people with maps, this movie has it all—except for coherence. Major Cast and Crew Director: Guy Ritchie Writers: Guy Ritchie, Ivan Atkinson, Marn Davies Main Cast: Jason Statham as Orson Fortune Aubrey Plaza as Sarah Ravin Hugh Grant as Greg Simons Josh Hartnett as Danny Francesco Cary Elwes as Nathan Jasmine Bugzy Malone as JJ Film Synopsis Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre follows freelance spy Orson Fortune (Jason Statham) as he teams up with tech expert Sarah Ravin (Aubrey Plaza) and Hollywood star Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) to stop arms dealer Greg Simons (Hugh Grant). Along the way, they employ cutting-edge gadgets like…a grill? Episode Highlights How Guy Ritchie’s featurette grilling session outshines the movie. Why the ancient Greek ruins deserved better than Operation Fortune. The team’s trailer breakdown game and their hilariously low score. A pitch for the sequel: Operation Fortune 2: The IRS Strikes Back. What do you think of Operation Fortune? Does Guy Ritchie’s eccentricity make the movie better—or just more confusing?
