Just from the outset, this seems apparent.
That is not the case withThe Covenant, which shows Ritchie’s comfort with telling a very different story.
However, more interesting is how Ritchie avoids dialogue in the movie.
It is also a moment when John can finally take a beat to mourn his fallen comrades.
He battles his anger and grief wordlessly as Ahmed watches silently.
As it turns out, it was that perspective of an outsider that helped makeThe Covenantso special.
It was as if he was reintroducing himself as a director and that seemed to free him up considerably.
But it lends itself to my disposition, the subject, and it was such a simple story.
And I quite like making a simple story.
