"The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: A WWII Heist Film Review"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Associated Press
Guy Ritchie's latest film "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" amplifies the true WWII story of Operation Postmaster with swaggering, exploitation-style ultraviolence, featuring a group of British special operatives on a daring mission in a Spanish colony. The film, while entertaining, is an awkward fusion of historical accuracy and Ritchie's signature style, with a focus on brawny action and debonair nonchalance. Despite its exaggerated nature, the movie offers a spirited diversion with proficiently staged set pieces and a talented ensemble cast.
