October 29, 2021 Remember way back when when Jake Gyllenhaal ("The Guilty", Old Soul Connoisseur) joined a nameless, plotless Guy Ritchie (Just make The Real Rocknrolla already, old man) film?
Here's that plot, and here's STX International already opening preorders on it.
Gyllenhaal will play Sergeant John Kinley who on his last tour of duty in Afghanistan is teamed with local interpreter Ahmed to survey the region. When their unit is ambushed on patrol, Kinley and Ahmed are the only survivors. With enemy combatants in pursuit, Ahmed risks his own life to carry an injured Kinley across miles of grueling terrain to safety. Back on U.S. soil, Kinley learns that Ahmed and his family were not given passage to America as promised. Determined to protect his friend and repay his debt, Kinley returns to the warzone to retrieve Ahmed and his family before the local militias reach them first.
Which sounds way too nuanced to be a Guy Ritchie film but ok.
Will the US Military help fund this one too?
