SFGATE columnist Drew Magary criticizes "Guy Ritchie's The Covenant" for failing to offer anything new about war and man's lust for it, and for being part of Hollywood's artistic malpractice in ignoring the stories and impact of the War in Afghanistan and Iraq. Magary argues that Hollywood is now part of the war machine apparatus, and that rendering these wars as background noise is more profitable than telling the truth about them.
