"‘Ungentlemanly Warfare’ an entertaining romp with Cavill at helm" by: Jessica Shepard

  Sometimes, I feel like some of the best movies are based on a true story in some form or fashion.
  I think it adds some sliver of possible credibility to the overall story or plot.
  And nothing piques my interest faster than something mixed between fact and fiction – like “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.”
  Warfare has all the notes of a great action film including: espionage, a crew of trained professionals united in one goal, and enough witty banter that kept me laughing out loud in my seat.
  Warfare is a spy action comedy film directed, co-written, and co-produced by Guy Ritchie, and starring Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding, Babs Olusanmokun, Rory Kinnear, Henry Golding, Hero Tiffin, Til Schweiger, Freddie Fox, Cary Elwes, and Alex Pettyfer.
  Based on the 2014 book, Churchill's Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII by Damien Lewis, the film portrays a heavily fictionalized version of “Operation Postmaster.”
  The movie clocks in at 120 minutes long and is rated R for strong violence throughout and some language.
  In late 1941, at the height of World War II, the United Kingdom is struggling to halt Nazi Germany's attempts to take over Europe, with London regularly suffering bombing runs at the hands of the Luftwaffe.
  With the United States yet to officially join the war and their supply and aid ships constantly sunk by German submarines, Brigadier Colin Gubbins (Elwes) prepares to initiate Operation Postmaster with the indirect backing of Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Kinnear).
  Postmaster is an off-the-books black-ops sabotage mission intended to disrupt the Nazis' U-boat resupply operation on the Spanish-controlled island Fernando Po.
  While Special Operations Executive (SOE) agents Marjorie Stewart (González) and Richard Heron (Olusanmokun) depart by train, Gubbins has enlisted Gus March-Phillips (Cavill) to assemble a ground team to destroy the Italian supply ship Duchessa d'Aosta and two tugboats attached to it.
  Using the Danish fishing trawler ‘Maid of Honor,’ Gus’ team includes Henry Hayes (Tiffin), Freddy Alvarez (Golding), and Danish naval officer Anders Lassen (Ritchson) as they begin the slow sail to Fernando Po.
  Unfortunately, SOE saboteur Geoffrey Appleyard (Pettyfar) was sent ahead on reconnaissance and ended up captured by Gestapo agents, which leads Gus to a Nazi-controlled section of the Canary Islands for a rescue mission.
  Meanwhile, arriving early on the island, Marjorie and Heron use the latter's 'illegal' gambling hall to recruit backup for Gus' team while Marjorie seduces the SS commander in charge - Heinrich Luhr (Schweiger).
  However, like with every well-laid plan, there are things that crop up unexpectedly and it’s interesting to see how Gus and his team handle such a situation.
  If you’re like me and a fan of Guy Ritchie’s work then you won’t want to miss this on the big screen.
  After all, it might be based on a true story but Ritchie takes their sassy banter to a new level with a solid cast and an interesting bit of history.
