Blu-ray Review: Guy Ritchie's The Covenant (2023)

Guy Ritchie fans wanted Guy Ritchie back.

Guy Ritchie fans wanted Guy Ritchie back. The Guy Ritchie of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and RocknRolla was not the same Guy Ritchie of Sherlock Holmes (though it did at least feel like him), King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, and the most fan-reviled of them all, the live-action Aladdin remake. They feared he may be gone forever.

But when he returned to his Jason Statham roots with an underseen and underrated Wrath of Man and the less loved but still familiarly-flavored Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, his fans cheered.

His latest effort, the eponymous Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, now on Blu-ray and DVD from MGM, is something to cheer for. It’s excellent. And Ritchie is back.
