It would be easy to assume that Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant is both a war film and a retelling of real-life events, but neither is the case. Loosely based on the experiences of American soldiers and their interpreters in Afghanistan before the withdrawal of US troops in 2021, the film follows fictional Master Sergeant John Kinley (Jake Gyllenhaal) and his interpreter Ahmed Abdullah (Dar Salim) as they forge a reluctant bond hunting IEDs as part of a US Army task force, and later through a grueling survival ordeal as they’re pursued across kilometers of desert by unwavering Taliban militia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02PPMPArNEQ&t=83s...
