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.

Very interested in the story. Cinematography left a lot to be desired. Serious story, cartoonish sets. Audio also not well set for cinema.

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

New York Post

It’s a Point A to Point B journey that comes down to wisecracking blokes shooting Nazis. Only Guy Ritchie can turn such a setup into a pleasure cruise.

Rated: 3/4

Third Coast Review

Simultaneously, the film feels overblown and undercooked; Ritchie knows how to direct an action sequence, but he’s still having issues with storytelling and character building.

Rated: 2/4

Firing the Canon

There are times we go to the movies to see complex investigations of compelling characters or themes we must spend time with and change us. Then there are times when we just want to see a bunch of evildoers meet grizzly ends because they deserve it.

Rated: 6.5/10

Despite its pluses and being a crowd-pleaser, it's still a crude film.
