Holy Gus March-Phillips! Guy Ritchie’s next riotous adventure showcases a group of borderline insane underground spies tasked with winning the war against Hitler. Enough said!
The official synopsis reads: Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organisation formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials including author Ian Fleming. The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques. Ultimately their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.
If you’re (and of course you are) a purveyor of the fast paced Guy Ritchie narrative, spies and laughs then this one is a must-see.
