2023's Guy Ritchie's The Govenant 

During the war in Afghanistan, a local interpreter risks his own life to carry an injured sergeant across miles of grueling terrain.

We differ on this movie, it's a good war movie but it's not as much of a Guy Ritchie movie as we may have wanted.  There's lots of fun dicussion and differing oppinions.
