Just watched this on amazon it was really good. Easily one of my favorite Afghanistan/Iraq war movies.

Much different from the typical London gangster stuff Richie is known for.

I just finished. I’m a big Guy Ritchie fan. I loved it. Highly recommend!

The translator is a badass.

I gave it a try recently, wasn't sure what to expect considering the films Ritchie usually has his name attached to. It didn't disappoint.

I think it’s the best movie I’ve seen this year. Shame is tanked at the box office

I’m not sure that he has ever made a bad movie.

For those who watched Operation Fortune and Wrath of Man, how do these compare to his earlier hits?

I loved Snatch and Lock Stock, liked The Gentlemen, and thought Rock N Rolla was nothing special.

Fortune was just ok, but I thought Wrath was awesome

I'm watching it now, it's what I expected, and good.

But does anyone really need "IED" defined for them on screen? We've watched multiple movies of his where we've had to translate pikey accents, and this is where we the definitions? I don't even want to give them a pass on defining QRF in text, GWOT has been going on for a short while, after all.

Good show, watched it Friday evening. It is criminal what the US Gov't did to those translators.

I enjoyed it as well but I couldn’t get past the operators not wearing any type of sun glasses. It’s hot af and sunny and dusty and they are running around with no eye protection at all.

The one with his then wife Madonna was pretty awful.
