Ici, Guy Ritchie avance un peu par inertie et Opération Fortune suit plus la trace de conneries superficielles exubérantes du genre Agents très spéciaux - Code U.N.C.L.E que celle de ses films plus récents, cools et fonctionnels comme The Gentlemen ou Un homme en colère – mais ça reste sympa. On se retrouve avec un mix des Bond et des M:I, dans un style typiquement ritchien, mais sans antagoniste central intéressant, sans scénario surprenant et sans scènes d’action qui vous en mettent plein la vue. L’humour et les répliques ne volent pas bien haut et il est difficile de vraiment prendre à cœur le destin des personnages principaux ; parfois, c’est comme si Ritchie s’intoxiquait un peu trop de ses propres prises. En même temps, c’est rythmé et compact, contrairement à la mode actuelle des métrages interminables.

This is exactly the kind of film that would have blown producers away in the 90s. It just needs better dialogue with at least one memorable line and a lead actor who captivates you from start to finish. Unfortunately, Jason Statham doesn’t quite hit the mark these days. He lacks both the charisma and the punchy lines that made 90s action heroes so entertaining. Still, unlike in the 90s, he’s one of the few actors who continues to make films like this.

Orson Fortune and his team must prevent the sale of a weapon that could threaten the entire world. To do so, they must get close to a dangerous adversary, and they're going to use a Hollywood superstar to do it. Guy Ritchie delivers an entertaining action-spy comedy that's driven forward by a particularly likeable cast. Unfortunately, they're a bit undermined by a muddled script, which often makes the story pause unnecessarily and deal with irrelevancies, only to have to unnecessarily plunge forward a few moments later. It's not boring, but one expects a bit more from Ritchie and Statham.

It is missing some visual highlight, some memorable scene that would make you want to watch it again. But otherwise it is a pretty solid film, and I could easily see Guy Ritchie as the new Bond director, though he probably doesn't even aspire to that, he's comfortable in the company of those weird underworld folks. Hugh Grant is an excellent sleazeball, Jason Statham is just Jason Statham, the same kind of actor that makes us love him so much, and Aubrey Plaza is a sweetheart when she's not all made up and trying to look sexy (she's really bad at that), but the one that was pleasantly surprised me was Josh Hartnett. I don't understand what messed up the career of this fun and charismatic guy, but hopefully after this and Oppenheimer it will get better.

Guy Ritchie's Mission: Impossible wannabe. And not bad at all. It would rather rank among the more accomplished in the series (solid plotting, the action is both rich and old-fashioned), though it's the least inventive because it sticks too closely to the genre rules.
