Basically Guy Ritchieโs take on a real-world version of Inglourious Basterds, Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is exactly as smarmy, bloody, and fun as that premise implies. The movie follows a band of British spies during World War II sent on a mission to disrupt a Nazi submarine blockade. The movie is really never more than a few minutes away from its next spectacular action set-piece, whether thatโs a surprise brawl on a boat, blowing up an enemy camp, or infiltrating a fortress. All of these action beats is punctuated with their own huge moments that keep each one feeling fresh, while Ritchieโs signature energetic camera keeps the whole thing moving briskly. But the real standouts here are the cast, with the band led by Henry Cavill, employing his usual charm and talent for sarcasm, and a particularly stellar turn by Reacherโs Alan Ritchson. Ritchson is the real standout, as a massive Swedish killing machine who gets some of the movieโs best fights and coolest moments.
