Guy Ritchie’s latest movie bears many of the director’s hallmarks, including a fun ensemble cast and a hearty helping of stylized action. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is based on the true story of a group of spies sent on a dangerous mission during World War II, but Ritchie puts his own spin on the narrative, and there’s an air of mischief reminiscent of his great gangster movie.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare revels in its Nazi-bashing violence. This is the type of movie designed to be cheered and hooted at, so it doesn’t worry too much about character depth or nuance. The most important things to know about each member of Gus March-Phillips’ ragtag Special Forces team is spelled out in bold letters, and this leaves plenty of room for Ritchie to get to work on the action sequences and the pithy dialogue which clearly interest him the most.
