Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (R)

Age 15+

Fun but shallow, violent globetrott­ing spy adventure.

“Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre” is a globe-trotting action-adventure-comedy movie from director Guy Ritchie and his frequent leading man Jason Statham. It’s pretty superficia­l but brisk and fun. Action violence includes shootouts (with people being shot and killed), neck slicing, stabbing, punching, fighting, explosions and more. A character is hit with a metal case, and his face is covered in blood; someone falls from a high balcony (with a pool of blood); women are Tasered and knocked unconsciou­s; and someone dies of a heart attack. Language is also strong, with several uses of “f---” or “f---ing,” plus “s---,” “c--k,” and “t--s.” There are also several instances of sexual innuendo and sex-related dialogue as well as some revealing outfits. Adult characters drink fairly frequently — mainly expensive wines and fancy whiskeys — and there’s some cigar smoking. (114 minutes)
