    The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a 2024 spy action comedy film directed, co-written and co-produced by Guy Ritchie, based on the 2014 book Churchill's Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWIIbyDamien Lewis. The film portrays a heavily fictionalized version of Operation Postmaster.

    The film had its premiere on April 13, 2024 in New York and will be released in the United States on April 19, 2024.

    Plot

    The film revolves around the Special Operations Executive, a covert British organization formed in 1940 by Prime Minister Winston Churchill to conduct espionage and sabotage operations in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. These operations, which utilized unconventional tactics, contributed significantly to the Allied victory over Nazi Germany and were forerunners of modern-day black operations and irregular warfare.[3]

    Cast

    Production

    Paramount Pictures acquired the rights to Damien Lewis's book The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill's Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops in 2015. Guy Ritchie signed on to direct the project in February 2021, from a script by Arash Amel, with Jerry Bruckheimer producing the film.[4] In October 2022, Henry Cavill and Eiza González were set to star, with Paramount no longer involved and Black Bear International now handling sales for the project.[5] In February 2023, additional casting including Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding, Alex Pettyfer and Cary Elwes was announced.[6]

    Filming began on February 13, 2023, in Antalya, Turkey.[7][8] It wrapped up in April 2023.[9]

    The day filming began, it was announced Lionsgate had acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film, planning to give it a wide release in 2024, and that select international distribution rights had been sold to Amazon Prime Video.[7]

    Release

    The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare had its premiere on April 13, 2024 in New York and was released in the United States on April 19, 2024, by Lionsgate.[10]

    Reception

    Box office

    In the United States and Canada, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will be released alongside Abigail and Spy × Family Code: White, and is projected to gross $5–8 million from 2,700 theaters in its opening weekend.[2]

    Critical response

    On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 71% of 69 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "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."[11] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 57 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[12]
