Kevin says The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Kinda Rocks!

It’s another weekend, and another war movie is opening in theaters. But this one takes a more whimsical approach.

Guy Ritchie directs THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE, a somewhat true but greatly embellished story of a secret British plot during World War II.

Winston Churchill directs a rag-tag group of mercenaries to cripple Germany’s U-Boat capabilities. And along the way, a lot of Nazis get killed. I mean, A LOT.

Not since Quentin Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS has there been such a joyful display of Nazi grudge-killing, and I’m all for that. It’s what rockets this movie from a war film to an almost comic-book level of insanity. And its tongue-in-cheek attitude with a formidable cast makes it a lot of fun.

As expected from Ritchie, there’s plenty of action and punchy one-liners. He’s definitely back in his filmmaking element here.

Not to be taken too seriously as it revels in its own pulpiness, this is a silly film, but it’s still a great deal of fun.

THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE gets three and a half machine guns out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
