Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
Rent & Buy
Special agent Orson Fortune and his team of operatives recruit one of Hollywood's biggest movie stars to help them on an undercover mission when the sale of a deadly new weapons technology threatens to disrupt the world order.
What critics thought
Guy Ritchie's spy caper lands in firmly mixed territory, with critics split on whether its star power and breezy attitude compensate for a plot that never quite delivers the propulsive, character-rich energy the genre demands. Statham's charisma is the most consistent point of agreement, while the film's ambition as a caper — colorful ensemble, twisty momentum — is widely seen as unfulfilled.
“Fortune is probably not the most realistic character we've seen on the big screen (we don't watch spy movies to believe their super abilities are existent in real life anyway), but you can bet he is oozing with charisma.”
John Li·Geek Culture
“Promising but failing to deliver the colorful characters and winding, breakneck plot of a caper, Operation Fortune may itself be a ruse, but it's not a convincing one.”
