[B]The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare[/B]. Not the typical Guy Ritchie movie, it's funny in spots, but that's not the focus.  Lots of big names, Henry Cavill as Gus March-Phillips, Eliza Gonzalez (maybe miscast a bit) as Marjorie Stewart, Alan Ritchson and others.  This tells the somewhat true story of [I]Operation Postmaster[/I] uncovered when Churchill's private documents were unsealed in 2016.  The Germans are dominating the Atlantic with U-Boats and bombing London. The U.S. supplies are being lost crossing the Atlantic and we won't send troops.  So Churchill authorizes a special force to destroy the critical supplies the German U-Boats need to operate (including CO2 filters) at a Spanish controlled island off of West Africa called Fernando Po.  Ian Flemming was involved in this operation back in London, and reportedly based James Bond on March-Phillips.   It's an enjoyable tale with enjoyable characters, just a fun well made movie.

Critical and audience response was very positive and yet it bombed at the box office so is streaming and for sale early.  I was prepared to see it at the cinema last night when I realized it was gone, so I paid $24 to buy it.
