Guy Ritchie's The Covenant streams free on Tubi Feb. 1
Guy Ritchie's Afghanistan war film The Covenant will stream for free on Tubi starting Feb. 1, MovieWeb reports. The movie first arrived in 2023 and is one of the director's rarer full-blown war projects. The Covenant stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Master Sgt. John Kinley alongside Dar Salim, Antony Starr, Alexander Ludwig, Fariba Sheikhan, Emily Beecham and Bobby Schofield.
Ritchie wrote the screenplay with Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies. Critics generally liked the film, which holds an 82% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences have given it a 98% user rating. User reactions quoted in the report included "10/10 Definitely worth the watch" and a five-star review calling it "absolutely wonderful and surreal." The story centers on US Army Sergeant John Kinley and Afghan interpreter Ahmed.
After Ahmed saves Kinley during an ambush, Kinley returns to the war zone when he learns Ahmed and his family were not given safe passage and are being hunted by the Taliban, according to the official synopsis. MovieWeb highlights the film's intense action and the bond between Ahmed and Kinley as the emotional core, noting strong turns from Gyllenhaal and a scene-stealing presence from Dar Salim.
The Covenant has a runtime of 123 minutes and was released April 21, 2023. Tubi's free streaming of The Covenant begins Feb.
