Inspired by true events, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare gives us a fairly unknown story of a major event during World War II that helped bring the US soldiers into the war in Europe.

In this film, we get a group of bad boys who are out to sink a supply ship that would help to cripple the German U-Boats.

The crew included Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Eiza Gonzalez, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Babs Olusanmokun, and Henry Golding.

Directed by Guy Ritchie, this is a fun, action movie that presents enjoyable characters against Nazis. Nazis always make great villains to root against.

The story is not incredibly deep, but the the action is certainly fun. Probably my biggest problem with the action is that I never really thought that any of the crew were ever in any danger. They would stroll through each situation shooting people with guns and arrows with little failure. That is a dangerous way to make it boring, but the action is well done enough that it never does get that way.

Henry Cavill is great in his role. He feels like the star of the ensemble. Eiza Gonzalez was excellent as the spy/vixen inside the viper’s den. Alan Ritchson was an awesome action star with his massive muscles and power moves.

As I said, the story is not especially deep, but it is a fun time in the theater as a popcorn movie.
