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.

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.

This is a perfectly undemanding watch. Just don’t watch it with a historian.

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.

The Gate

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare has a good premise, and while it isn’t Ritchie’s worst, it’s definitely one of his most forgettable.

Rated: 4/10

Jack Martin

Film Feeder

Curiously, for a movie that sounds as though it would benefit from Ritchie’s unconventional style, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is disappointingly as straightforward as it comes, particularly in both its writing and its direction.

Rated: 2/5

What She Said

Guy Ritchie’s the action scenes are nonstop and over the top, and the weaponry and explosions endless. It’s unsatisfying as a film because there is too little character development, overshadowed by the action. But its fun.

Rated: 2/4

I had the pleasure of being recently laid off from my job and got to go watch this film in theaters during the day, with nobody else there. I had heard little about it, and it turned out to be one of the best films I have seen all year. Every person seems to truly enjoy working on the film and it showed in their acting skills.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
