Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2023)
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is a spy caper directed by Guy Ritchie. The movie stars Jason Statham as a secret agent who is outshone at every turn by Aubrey Plaza and Hugh Grant. The movie is a franchise non-starter but it has some redeeming qualities.
The movie is snappy, breezy, and goes down easy. It has some well-choreographed action sequences that are entertaining to watch. The movie also has some funny moments thanks to the performances of Plaza and Grant. The movie’s soundtrack is also noteworthy and adds to the overall experience.
However, the movie lacks originality and novelty. The plot is predictable and lacks depth. The characters are one-dimensional and lack development. The action sequences lack tension and excitement.
The plot of Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is similar to that of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Both movies feature a protagonist who is in over their head and must navigate a dangerous situation. In both movies, an actor helps the protagonist with their undercover operation. Additionally, in both movies, the actor who gets into the undercover operation becomes fond of the spying subject.
Overall, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is a forgettable spy caper that fails to thrill but it has some redeeming qualities that make it worth watching if you’re a fan of the genre.
