Guy Ritchie's second weakest ever film - saved only by the fine Hugh Grant & Aubrey Plaza
11 March 2023
With regular co-writers Ivan Atkinson & Marn Davies, Guy Ritchie dumbs actioner "Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre" down so much that it woulda stunk but for some stand-out support performances - notably from Hugh Grant & Aubrey Plaza. For UK govt bod Eddie Marsan, Cary Elwes runs the private special agent trio of Jason Statham, Plaza & Bugzy Malone. Using movie star Josh Hartnett as an in, they must find out who arms dealer mogul Grant is selling a stolen uber-powerful weapon to, and foil him before a rival troupe does. Silly & forgettable it's Ritchie's weakest (bar "Swept Away") but with its global settings and the fine Grant & Plaza, it's still passable - just.
