Episode #313: Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre

By on Wednesday, March 8, 2023

Welcome one and all. It’s a new podcast day for the Reel Film Nerds. For today’s episode Ma, Mike and Matt chat about Guy Ritchie’s latest film Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre. Bonus discussions include Legion, death, and Yes Man.

This is not your typical Guy Ritchie film. The story is told directly, there are not a ton of characters, and there are no big twists or reveals. Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is not a bad film just not what your hosts have come to expect from Ritchie. It’s a spy satire with some really funny moments but not enough. It was great seeing Josh Hartnett back on screen and in a somewhat starring role. Aubrey Plaza, Hugh Grant, and of course Jason Statham all do great jobs. Operation Fortune is just missing something keeping it from hitting that incredible film rank like previous Ritchie flicks. Ma and Mike agree Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is a solid 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really expected more but he still really enjoyed himself. He awards the film 3 out of 5 Reels.

Mike, Matt, and even Ma just can’t stay away from the theaters in 2023. For next week they will report back about the Sci-Fi dinosaur thriller 65 starring Adam Driver. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Episode #158: The Gentlemen

By on Wednesday, February 5, 2020

Welcome everyone to our little pod about movies!  In today’s episode your two hosts discuss Guy Ritchie’s latest British gangster film The Gentlemen.  Extracurricular topics include MCU burnout, when you need to be in your seat, and the 2nd Annual Poindexter Awards.

The Gentlemen was a real shock to Mike and Matt.  Neither of them were super anxious to see this film.  It did not look like a bad movie from the trailers but Ritchie has had a few missteps recently.  This picture was a really nice return to form for the writer and director of such great films as Snatch and Sherlock Holmes.  The cast is amazing, the sets are great, and the story is full of fun twists and turns like a lot of Guy Ritchie’s older fantastic films.  The acting was incredible especially from Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell.  Is this a must watch film in the theaters, no it is not but it is worth a watch.  Matt and Mike both agree, wait until this one is streaming or at RedBox to catch it.  Mike really enjoyed The Gentlemen awarding it 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt also liked the film a ton but as we all know he is way too lenient with his ratings.  He gives Guy Ritchie’s latest film 4 out of 5 Reels.

Next week we promise we will finally review Birds of Prey.  Matt is still new to this Internet thing.  Hopefully he figures out how to work it soon so there are no more screw ups.  Thanks for hanging out with us while we chat your ears off about movies. Talk to you next week.

If you have a film you would like Matt and Mike Talent to review you can email us at nerds@reelfilmnerds.com, listeners we are talking to you.
