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.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard If you're looking for a mindlessly fun watch in which good triumphs over bad, this is it, even if it does swap the gritty realism of real-life events for a Boy's Own adventure. Rated: 3/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare | Rotten Tomatoes (2) John Nugent Empire Magazine This is a perfectly undemanding watch. Just don’t watch it with a historian. Rated: 3/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) he action scenes are subordinate to the banter, as putting the team together gets as much focus as the team’s mission. Ritchie can do better than this. Jul 25, 2024 Full Review The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) A coalition of colourful characters go rocknrolla, Guy Ritchie-style, in a breezy escapist combat caper. Rated: 3/5 Oct 1, 2024 Full Review The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare | Rotten Tomatoes (5) James Croot Stuff.co.nz There are times, with its international cast, over-the-top set-pieces and quirky humour, when it feels more like a war-time version of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou than The Dirty Dozen, but the ensemble ensures it’s never less than entertaining. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 11, 2024 Full Review The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Alistair Harkness Scotsman ... At times, an entertainingly slick throwback to movies like Kelly’s Heroes and The Guns of Navarone. Rated: 3/5 Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
