IMDb plot summary: The British military recruits a small group of highly skilled soldiers to strike against German forces behind enemy lines during World War II.
Directed by Guy Ritchie. Starring Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, and Alex Pettyfer.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a Guy Ritchie World War II action comedy telling the true story of a group of British rogues hired by Ian Fleming and Prime Minister Winston Churchill to sink the boat that provides necessary resources to all the German U boats. With those resources gone, British troops will be able to sail through the seas unscathed. This is an interesting story, one of the few examples for me where it being a true story actually does enhance the story, and I find it less twisty and more engaging than a lot of Ritchie’s action work sometimes is. As always, I wish the ensemble of mostly white men were easier to tell apart from each other, but there are some good fun heist-style sequences, and seeing how they respond to the various obstacles thrown in their way is a fun ride. Overall an enjoyable but forgettable ride that is going to be some people's absolute cup of tea.
