4 / 6
Translated from swedish: Ritchie has crafted a beautiful film that works well on multiple levels, but falls short where it should bring out its heavy artillery: the West's shameful treatment of the tens of thousands of locally recruited interpreters.

3 / 5
Translated from swedish: Overall, "The Covenant" is a traditionally crafted war film about an incredible rescue mission in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Gyllenhaal and Salim make for a well-matched duo and the story is memorable. The action sequences are well-executed and the cinematography is spectacular. A bloody but compelling cinematic experience!

1. Filmparadiset
Translated from swedish: This is an effective film that delivers a fast pace, tons of suspense, and quite a few intense action sequences. But despite that, we don't get anything new under the sun here, and upon reflection, we've seen this story multiple times over the years. Even so, this film is a pleasant surprise and feels like one you can come back to more than once.
