Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is a globe-trotting, slick spy thriller that is non-stop fun and never overly complicated. Operation Fortune gets going right from the start. Co-writer/director Guy Ritchie wastes no time in establishing the players of the film. Nathan (Cary Elwes), working for some sort of British intelligence agency, is putting together a team of the best spies he can get his hands on in order to stop the sale of deadly…

  Michael B. Jordan makes his feature directorial debut with Creed III, an exciting, emotional, and impressively-made film that solidifies that this franchise belongs to Jordan.
