Starring Jason Statham as the lead character Orson Fortune, the film promises to keep the audience engaged with its thrilling adventure and exciting storyline.
The film starts with the introduction of Nathan Jasmine (Cary Elwes), who works for the British government. He is assigned by a senior security division official to retrieve a device known as “The Handle,” which has been stolen by a group of Ukrainian mafias. The government fears that the device might fall into the hands of a notorious arms dealer named Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant) and be sold to the highest bidder. To combat this, Nathan hires Orson Fortune, a super spy with extraordinary skills.
Orson is a private agent who works for the British government. He leads a team of other skilled agents, including Sarah Fidel (Aubrey Plaza) and J.J. Davies (Bugzy Malone), to retrieve the device. Initially, Orson is reluctant to accept the job offer as he is on vacation. However, he eventually agrees to help Nathan.
The team follows the Ukrainian mafias to Madrid and tracks down a courier carrying a hard drive containing data about The Handle. However, their mission is jeopardized by another spy, Mike (Peter Ferdinando). Despite his frustration, Orson and his team manage to copy the contents of the hard drive before it is stolen by Mike.
Orson and his team then plan to retrieve The Handle by attending a charity event held by Greg Simmonds on a luxurious yacht in Cannes, France. They enlist the help of Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett), an action star loved by Greg, to distract him while they steal his cellphone to clone it. The plan works successfully, and they manage to retrieve The Handle.
However, they soon realize that The Handle is a powerful artificial intelligence device capable of hacking into any security system worldwide. The buyer of the device plans to use it to disrupt global banking systems. Orson and his team move quickly to prevent this from happening by tracking down the buyer in Turkey.
In the climax of the film, Orson and his team manage to infiltrate the buyer’s estate, but they are discovered. A fight ensues, resulting in Orson having to disguise as the buyer’s representative, Ben Harris (Max Beesley), for the transaction. Orson’s daring plan works, and the team successfully prevents the buyer from obtaining The Handle.
Overall, Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre is a thrilling action-comedy-thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The cast delivers convincing performances, and the storyline is well-paced and engaging. Fans of Jason Statham and those who enjoy spy movies will undoubtedly enjoy this film.
