Movie review - "Operation Fortune" (2023) **

 Guy Ritchie action flick has a lot of nice things about it - Jason Statham doing his stuff, Hugh Grant again having a wonderful time as a villain, and most of al Audrey Plaza as the perfect femme in the Richie world, sexy, smart, cool, etc etc.

It is a sluggish film though. Starts well but after a while it sinks in that the elements aren't exactly fresh - agents chasing after a Thing, the Thing changes hands, villain obsessed with a movie star, self referential jokes with a movie star playing a movie star (Josh Harnett in a role I wish Hugh Grant had played - or someone more lively).

It's all so easy for Statham and co. Like really easy. 

Turkish setting a little different.
