Guy Ritchie's The Covenant

Representation / casting choices

Casting naturally fits the Afghanistan war setting with no forced diversity or identity signaling.

Political / ideological dialogue

No activist-style dialogue or political lectures.

Identity-driven story themes

Narrative centers on male honor, loyalty, and debt repayment with no identity politics.

Institutional / cultural critique

Depicts US bureaucracy failing Afghan allies but frames resolution as individual heroism in a war context without modern activist identity framing.
