“Every day, I come by your house and I pick you up.

I recently watched Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, because I like Jason Statham in almost anything. As it played through, many of the shots felt like a made for TV movie, while others seemed to be aping Guy Ritchie. Then I kept thinking how much more I enjoyed The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which is essentially the same plot, but with Nic Cage.  Imagine my surprise when it ended and it turned out to be a Guy Ritchie film! As much as Nic Cage makes fun of himself and his reputation in UWoMT, conversely Guy Ritchie seems determined to half-ass his own techniques and methods in Operation Fortune. 

It's not a bad movie, just not up to snuff for a Guy Ritchie movie that could have kicked off a franchise for Statham.
