Ritchie, working from a script he cowrote with Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies, has taken all of this and transformed it into a movie that’s so clever and airy yet grounded, so sparkling with devil-may-care bravado, so poised right where you want it to be — a step ahead of the audience but also leading us right along — that it gives off the charge of a great screwball comedy.

Either Ritchie didn’t bring his typical slickness for the ride, or he’s chopped up Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre intentionally to take the piss out of the genre. The effect at least feels more like comfort than boredom. Read full review

The awkwardly titled Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is a mixed bag that plays like a cross between a “Mission: Impossible” movie and “Get Shorty,” and there are some moments of hilariously dark humor and a few nifty fight sequences. But the plot is so convoluted it feels as if chunks of different scripts were all fed into some kind of A.I. blender, with the result being an inconsequential serving of empty cinematic calories.

Landing in multiplexes more than a year late after some business reshuffling and rewrites (not a good idea for your bad guys to be Ukrainian gangsters at this moment in history), Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is a slick and empty-headed spy thriller that is almost instantly forgettable.

It’s an odd paradox that this movie feels both high-minded and also at times frustratingly pedestrian. Read full review

Operation Fortune is a spy “comedy” insofar as it generally shrugs in the direction of parody: its characters presume the air of cheeky sendup without actually committing to it, whether it’s Statham’s grumpy skull-cracker or Plaza’s confused deadpan. Read full review

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. Read full review

Come on Ritchie boy, when has a war ever stopped you from being racist to other nationalities and ethnicities in your **** chauvinistic crap films? ;)

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THAT THE MAIN CHARACTERS MURDER THE **** OUT OF THE DUMB HOLHOL UKRAINIAN MERCENARIES! Eastern European henchmen's nationalities have always been interchangeable in this ****ty Hollywood movies because to the racist boomers in America Eastern Europe is apparently the same sh*thole anyway. It's only recently after the war that America has started to pretend that Ukraine and Ukrainians were some noble people that have always been separate from the Russian state, even though every US movie and TV show prior to that depicted them as the same.… Expand

Excellent movie! I love Guy Ritchie style and 'Operation Fortune' is like Gentlemen + U.N.C.L.E: if you liked this two -> you'll get excited from Fortune. Please don't pass by this movie - it deserves to get a sequel.
