Trailer for Guy Ritchie and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Action War Thriller THE COVENANT

MGM has dropped the first trailer for director Guy Ritchie’s next film The Covenant.  Gyllenhaal plays Sgt. John Kinley, “who is on his last tour of duty in Afghanistan when he is teamed with local interpreter Ahmed (Dar Salim) to survey the region. When their unit is ambushed on patrol, Kinley and Ahmed are the only survivors, and with enemy combatants in pursuit, Ahmed risks his 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.”
