When it comes to stylized violence with a tongue-in-cheek attitude, there is nobody like Guy Ritchie. He’s brought epic myths to the screen as well as gangland stories set against the brutal backgrounds of the rough neighborhoods of London but with glamorous storylines that belong in the most decadent sets in Hollywood. His newest film keeps violence at the fore but offers a completely different perspective and style. The most topical film of his career, Guy Ritchie's The Covenant puts audiences in the middle of the Afghanistan War, following an American soldier’s desperate journey to save his Afghan translator.Jake Gyllenhaal takes on the lead role of US Army Sergeant John Kinley. Starring alongside Gyllenhaal as his translator Ahmed is Dar Salim, who has primarily worked in Danish television, appearing on popular shows like Borgen and The Bridge. Salim also has notable film roles in Curveball and Darkland. Alexander Ludwig also stars in the film, as does Antony Starr (The Boys), Jason Wong (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves), and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary). One of the most acclaimed directors of our time, Guy Ritchie made his debut in 1998 with Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, a crime comedy about confident young criminals who decide to rob the gang next door in order to pay off their massive debts. The film received critical acclaim and was followed by Snatch starring Brad Pitt. More recently, Ritchie has devoted his time to adaptations of well-known stories including Sherlock Holmes, The Man From U.N.C.LE, and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. This is Ritchie’s second movie to be released this year followed by Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre starring Jason Statham, Hugh Grant, and Aubrey Plaza.Here is our guide on how, when, and where you can watch Guy Ritchie's The Covenant, including from the comfort of your living room and if it is still playing in theaters.Editor's Note: This piece was updated on June 26.

Brothers (2009) - Also starring Jake Gyllenhaal, this American adaptation of a Danish classic asks big questions about what it means to come home.

Veteran director Jim Sheridan makes sure this epic story stays grounded and thrilling while Gyllenhaal and Maguire give some of the best performances of their careers. Rent on Amazon
Saving Private Ryan (1998) - The war film that should have gotten Steven Spielberg his second Best Picture Oscar, Saving Private Ryan offered audiences one of the most realistic and hard-to-watch depictions of war. The film follows a group of soldiers sent on a deadly mission behind enemy lines in order to take a young soldier home and inform him that his three brothers have died in the line of duty. To this day, the opening scene depicting the storming of the beaches of Normandy is not only historically accurate but a cinematic triumph.
Dunkirk (2017) - Possibly the best war film of the past decade, Christopher Nolan reminded the world of one of the most crucial military removal operations in the history of modern warfare. Focusing on several different perspectives, Dunkirk shows how by land, air, and sea, thousands of young men were evacuated from a beach in Belgium and won the war. With incredible cinematography and sound design that makes you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action and the compelling storylines make it an emotional experience and not just an accurate documentation.
