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.

Critics Consensus

Cranking up a true story of derring-do into a high-octane action flick that's heavy on spectacle if not suspense, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is another solid entry into Guy Ritchie's pantheon.

All the swagger you'd want from a Guy Ritchie movie is completely absent here.

Movie Mom

It is a perfect match of story and director. Guy Ritchie is at his best in high-energy stories of very attractive men with mad fighting skills and no hesitation in using them.

Boston Globe

“Ministry” offers all kinds of collateral nonsense to pad the main nonsense.

Rated: 2/4

The irony here is undeniable: It feels like Ritchie’s playing it safe with a movie about guys who break the rules to get the job done.

Ritchie goes for glossy in this highly modified, super stylized WWII treatment. Well paced and hyper violent enough to lull us into forgetting underlying horrors.

Rated: 3/5

Ultimately, it's a movie that doesn't seem to enjoy itself very much.

Dhruv S

This movie is strictly mediocre. All of the style and eccentric cast are not enough to elevate a standard plot and subpar pacing. The action can be entertaining but it can also be akin to a casual stroll in the park. The b plot of the film is utterly useless. By the end its hard not feel underwhelmed. On the positive note it is an easy watch so there is always that.

Absolutely loved this movie! Lots of exciting action sequences followed by witty banter and comical bits. Keep in mind that it's also based on a true story!
