‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ Is a Box Office Success

Lionsgate's latest action-packed thriller, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," has been making waves since its release, captivating audiences with its gripping storyline and stellar performances. With a remarkable 94 percent Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes and an A- CinemaScore, it's no surprise that this film is gaining widespread acclaim.

Directed by the acclaimed Guy Ritchie and starring Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Eiza González, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Henry Golding and Cary Elwes, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" takes audiences on a thrilling journey through the harrowing events of World War II. Based on a true story, the film follows the exploits of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a secret unit tasked with sabotaging the Nazis and their allies using guerilla tactics.

At the heart of the story is "Operation Postmaster," the SOE's first successful raid in 1942, carried out by the Small Scale Raiding Force (SSRF). Led by the charismatic Gus March-Phillips (played by Henry Cavill), this ragtag team of misfits embarks on a daring mission to sink a key German vessel supplying U-boats.

Critics have been quick to praise the R-rated film for its gripping narrative and standout performances. The Observer raves, "The cast, especially Ritchson, chews the scenery and spits it out with great fervor. It's violent, stylish, and presented with flair while showcasing a lesser-known tale from the war that was only declassified recently." Meanwhile, the Arizona Republic declares it "everything you want in a movie.”

Based on Damien Lewis' book "Churchill's Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII" and inspired by real-world events, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" offers a fresh perspective on the heroism and sacrifice of those who fought behind enemy lines.

“The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is playing in theaters now and will be available for licensing from Swank soon.
