The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare - DVD

One of the funniest but action packed movies I’ve seen in a while! Definitely worth watching and would definitely recommend to others!

It was humorous, lots of action, good acting, good location scenes, and based on a true story what more can someone want. Best thing there isn't any made up romance to take up time in the picture, have seen to many movies that throw in gratuitous sex just to fill space in the movie that actually has nothing to do with the story, it's just filler.

The movie is about the real-life British SAS commandos during WW2. The movie is entertaining, but it was produced at about the same time as the TV show "Rogue Heroes" that covers similar material. I actually like the TV show a lot better. Perhaps because the TV show has more hours of screen time, it develops the characters, plots, and settings in much more detail. The first season of the TV show was broadcast before the movie and one more season has been released so far, with a 3rd season reportedly already in production.

One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Funny and tons of very great unique action.

Funny/very good movie to watch. I know I will be watching this one over and over .

After seeing snippets on YouTube, I decided to buy the dvd. Very glad I did. Very much enjoyed the movie! And I can watch it on my portable dvd player anywhere. The movie is based on an actual event. No cgi or green screens. Just like they used to make movies.

This movie depicts the heroic efforts of WW2 British commandos who set out to hijack an Italian cargo ship and large German tug off the coast of Western Africa. In the original mission, amazingly, nobody was injured, and the stolen ships were towed out to sea where a British naval ship quickly intercepted them. One thing significant about movies from the 1940s and 1950s: they knew how to pace a movie to allow cameras enough time, so you really get to know a movie star. The pace in this movie quickly prevents you from spending any time with an actor, including Alan Ritchson ("Reacher"), other than by recognizing his large physical size. The majority of camera time was devoted to a fictional character played by actress Eiza González. Her character a make-believe heroic woman never mentioned in military dispatches. From her first appearance, this movie quickly becomes _her_ rescue and the movie is transformed into a kind of a Star Wars-styled plot where all the Stormtroopers get mowed down like white-painted blades of grass. And through it all, 35-year-old González does not get you concerned for her welfare, as a Princess Leia does - I meant, when 20-year-old Carrie Fisher was the princess. Too bad. Because the daylight scenes of this movie were vividly dramatic, aboard ship, and at sea. As soon as the commandos arrive, you're lost. You have no idea where you've landed. They don't waste camera time to look at a map. They like a 35-year-old's beautiful face. I like her too, but, uh. Oh, well.

The film’s score is another highlight, perfectly underscoring the action and emotional beats. The music swells at just the right moments, amplifying the tension and triumphs without overshadowing the narrative. It’s a testament to the composer’s talent that the score feels both epic and intimately tied to the characters’ journeys.
