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 organization 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.

Starring Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Babs Olusanmokun, Henrique Zaga, Til Schweiger, with Henry Golding and Cary Elwes.

Looks awesome.

Remember kids: A good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Well, Cavill ain't getting James Bond now.... Throw Argylle on top and he seems to be actively campaigning for the role whilst simultaneously mocking it

But looks good. This kind of silly ensemble stuff can go either way for me but Ritchie is usually pretty solid and this looks to have a good budget so I'm in.

 

[GymWolf]

So happy for my boy Thad castle.

 

[Ammogeddon]

Looks great, feels like it’s taken forever to come out.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Cant wait to hear the reacher actor's english accent lol

 

[SJRB]

I dunno about this one man, Guy Richie usually falls flat with these big globetrotting adventures.

I like his more condensed, focused stuff way more.

 

[StueyDuck]

Guy Ritchie for me is almost the exact definition of hit or miss...

The covenant for me was an OK hit, nothing special but enjoyable. So I'm hoping this isn't a miss

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

His movie The Covenant was fantastic and that was recent

 

[IntentionalPun]

Always gotta watch Guy’s movies.

Cavill isn’t my favorite but I don’t dislike him.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Sure why not.

 

[ADiTAR]

Didn't see Cavill once without his shirt off. 6/10.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Marvel + Inglorious Bastards = No thanks

 

[Coconutt]

Looks good between this and Warhammer glad to see my boy Cavill still getting work.

 

[NahaNago]

This looks fun. I'll definitely go see it.

 

[DKehoe]

A relative of mine was in SOE, the group this is based on. He wasn’t really one for talking about what he had done but every now and then I'd hear about some absolutely mad shit he did.

 

[AJUMP23]

Looks fun, but I bet some liberties were taken.

Just look at the casting and it's pretty obvious. This is a fantasy WW2 film, no question.

Curious if the Nazis will be as diverse though, always down for some hot chicks in tight leather

Germans never take liberties.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

That is way more silly in tone than it should be. If it was more spy/action it would be a hit, imho.

 

[midnightAI]

only just caught this trailer, this looks awesome

 

[FunkMiller]

Apparently this stupid fucking movie doesn't even star Henry Cavill or Alan Ritchson. They're hardly in it.

The entire marketing campaign is one big lie.

So it is marketing.

The Metal Gear Solid 2 strategy.

Those where the two I was most looking forward to seeing ffs, ah well I'm still sure it'll be an enjoyable Ritchie flick at least

 

[KaiserBecks]

Still waiting for The Real RocknRolla.

 

[midnightAI]

Dammit, looks like this one is skipping UK cinema and going direct to Amazon Prime, no release date yet.

Where are you getting this from?

I read a review that certainly implied they were the main characters. It is an ensemble Ritchie film though, there are usually entire segments that are separate and then come together in the end.

Cavill’s character leads the entire mission.

Are you thinking of Argyle?

A fair amount of the reviews indicate they are definitely not the lead characters.

 

[FunkMiller]

Nope. Seems like Henry being advertised as a big part of a movie… and then not actually being in the movie much is a repeat thing.

 

[jason10mm]

Bummer, those two playing off (or with, I don't judge) each other was the main appeal for me. WTF is this movie about if NOT the two guys who plan and lead the mission?

 

[IntentionalPun]

A fair amount of the reviews indicate they are definitely not the lead characters.

I’ve read a few and none have even come close to claiming they are “hardly in it.” Only found one that even mentioned anything like that and they just said Cavill takes a back seat to Ritchson.

At the end he literally says Henry Cavil carries this entire movie.

 

[IntentionalPun]

At the end he literally says Henry Cavil carries this entire movie.

Yeah as I noted above it’s a Guy Ritchie film. They almost always have separate stories going on at the same time. This one has 2 different groups doing different things so there will be times when Cavill and Ritchson aren’t a part of the film just as Jason Stathom isn’t in many scenes from Lock Stock.

Sounds like going by this, my general rule remains and this will be a miss, hopefully an OK miss.

I'll still see it when it comes to streaming
