During World War II, the British Army assigns a group of competent soldiers to carry out a mission against the Nazi forces behind enemy lines... A true story about a secret British WWII organization – the Special Operations Executive. Founded by Winston Churchill, their irregular warfare against the Germans helped to change the course of the war, and gave birth to modern black operations.
A woke dumpster fire, that turns the memory of brave men, like my uncle who fought and in many cases died, as he did, during WWII, into ugly caricatures.
Backed up by a moronic back story and villains who are little more than clay pigeon's, that is,bullet magnets.
I wont say more, this thing simply doesn't deserve it.
I was pleasantly surprised by The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Guy Ritchie crafts an intriguing story about Winston Churchills team of highly skilled misfit soldiers recruited for the dirtiest missions against the Germans. This film combines historical drama with Ritchie's signature style, resulting in an engaging and action-packed experience.
Henry Cavill stands out as the deranged leader of this unorthodox team, delivering a performance that balances madness with a fierce sense of duty. His character's unpredictable nature keeps the audience on edge.

Alan Ritchson playing a kinda dweeby, murderous Scandinavian is a highlight.
In the vein of, if far more grounded than, Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
A good vibe to go into 2025.
Snazzy WW2 flick about a brazen raid off the coast of West Africa
Churchill refuses to surrender to Germany and so backs the Special Operations Executive (SOE), which was the precursor to what is today known as black ops. The unorthodox team carry out Operation Postmaster in early 1942, a daring attack on an island near Cameroon to disrupt the Nazis' U-boat resupply operation.
Helmed by Guy Ritchie, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" (2024) is similar in plot to 1968s Attack on the Iron Coast, which covered the St Nazaire Raid on the shore of German-occupied France, a raid that happened to take place 2.5 months after Operation Postmaster. Interestingly, the SOE were considered for heading that raid (in the aftermath of the ...
