MOVIE REVIEW“Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant”Rated R. At AMC Boston Common, AMC South Bay and suburban theaters.Grade: C+In a weird throwback to those Chuck Norris “Missing in Action “ films of the 1980s, “Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant,” a far better-made effort, is yet another war movie that asks us to feel good about something we should feel bad about.

Our chaotic withdrawal made matters worse.In fact, there was a recent story in the news headlined “Afghans Stranded in Pakistan Are Struggling After Broken Promises from the U.S.” How do we compare this reality with the content of “The Covenant,” a ...
