Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre Is A Fun Time

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre could have been a run-of-the-mill action comedy but the genius comes in casting the film. Plus, Aubrey Plaza steals the show. “Ruse de Guerre” is a term that continually comes up throughout the film. It is a French team meaning an unorthodox approach to warfare.
