Guy Ritchie fun with a cast of fun characters! Aubrey Plaza steals the show

| Jul 25, 2023

...what makes Operation Fortune feel like a less intensive but a lot funnier Mission Impossible-type adventure is Ritchie’s ability to apply his macho humor and the gimmicky visual stylishness that became his trademark over the years.

| Jul 25, 2023

More like John Le Carre: Operation Bankrupt as Ritchie can never tap into Statham's knack for humor, lets Josh Hartnett flail about and, worst of all, hangs Aubrey Plaza out to dry to figure out for herself if she is playing legit or parody.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 5, 2023

Operation Fortune finds Guy Ritchie sticking with what he knows best, even if the end result suggests that he might be losing some of his mojo.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 11, 2023

The setup promises a rollicking ruse but the script is seriously lacking wit despite having a fun ensemble cast.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 4, 2023

A fleeting and functional entertainment to pass the time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 2, 2023

A frustraingly damp and discordant caper, with a capable cast done a disservice due to haphazard editing and an underdeveloped script. A mess, and a shame.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 11, 2023

It’s like someone doing Guy Ritchie doing Guy Ritchie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 10, 2023

Flashy but hollow...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 9, 2023

...a familiar yet mostly entertaining spy caper that’s elevated, on a remarkably consistent basis, by the agreeable, affable performances...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 8, 2023

…Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre provides a nice, smooth, undemanding watch, elevated by another killer performance from Hugh Grant in peak form…

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 8, 2023

With a shoes-clicking-on-marble start that’s pure Burn After Reading, and some saucy surveillance games that reminded me of Sneakers, Ritchie plans his menu with familiar ingredients.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2023

... The colourful script repeatedly rescues the lagging by poking fun and delivering on real humour.

| Apr 7, 2023

The film is mostly content to watch Statham perform some nifty beat-downs before introducing us to a scene-and-movie-stealing Hugh Grant... as a buffoonish arms dealer apparently slathered in Donald Trump’s fake tan.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2023

Guy Ritchie barely puts a foot wrong with his solid but largely forgettable spy caper.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2023

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre works wonderfully as an entertaining popcorn flick.

| Apr 7, 2023

The breakneck pace, and endless sequences of people typing and texting, overlong, deadening fight sequences seem regressive, but Plaza's energy and brightness raises Ritchie's retro effort

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 7, 2023

Riper than the ripest of ripe Brie, this crime caper provides a ridiculous vehicle for the talents of pretty much everyone involved, all of whom appear to be having a splendid time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 6, 2023

Director and co-writer Guy Ritchie’s buoyant spy caper and franchise non-starter Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is a fine enough movie to watch on a weekend afternoon when one has nothing better to do.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 6, 2023

Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre feels like a Xerox copy of the movies that made Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham famous. The sum of its parts is a bland espionage story that is, at best, serviceable.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 6, 2023
