Indeed, Prime Video continues with its film releases and if a few weeks ago they released exclusively Operation Fortune: The Great HoaxGuy Richie’s latest film, now they do the same with the previous one, The pact (The Covenant). On this occasion, however, the high-flying action gives way to the thriller of warlike action and, as the headline points out, with an American flavor, although the British director is in the making.

The pact (The Covenant) moves the action to the Middle East, to the last tour of duty in Afghanistan of a group of soldiers led by the protagonist of the story, Jake Gyllenhaal (zodiac, Brokeback Mountain), although there are other familiar faces out there, like Antony Starr himself (The Boys, Banshee). This film is not talked about as the best of Ritchie, but not as the worst either, so enjoy it.
