CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Dan Baker on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on April 20th, reviewing “The Covenant,” which features Jake Gyllenhaal in a tense war drama, set in Afghanistan. In theaters on April 21st.
 Rating: 4.0/5.0 |
The film is set during the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan. Jake Gyllenhaal is John Kinley, an Army reconnaissance expert searching for the Taliban enemy who plants IEDs on the roadsides. He takes in a new interpreter named Ahmed (Dar Salim) who has a deeper revenge factor against the enemy. In their mission, they fall into an ambush, and Kinley is severely injured. In an incredible turn of events, Ahmed drags Kinley for miles back to the base, even though they’re on the Taliban most wanted list. The military finds Kinley but Ahmed disappears, so the now army veteran wants to go back in country to find his friend.
