Lionsgate has dropped the first trailer for Guy Ritchie‘s new World War II film “The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” starring Henry Cavill (“The Witcher”), Alan Ritchson (“Reacher”), Eiza González (“Ambulance”), Henry Golding (“Snake Eyes”), Alex Pettyfer, Cary Elwes and more. The film is set for a theatrical release on April 19.

Billed as an “outrageous true story,” the action spy comedy is inspired by true events about U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s and James Bond author Ian Fleming’s secret WWII combat organization. The synopsis reads, “this clandestine squad’s unconventional and entirely ‘ungentlemanly’ fighting techniques against the Nazis significantly changed the course of the war and gave birth to the modern Black Ops unit.”

I hope they cover the rumor that the reason Hoess crash landed in the UK was that Fleming et all were fricking with published horoscopes to make him think he could make a deal.

Richie making a clandestine WWII movie is all the pitch I need to hear.

This looks great, I'll watch it.

But I do wish for a Man From U.N.C.L.E. 2, 3 and 4.

The book is absolutely fantastic and documents some real events that will seem too unbelievable when portrayed on film.

The story of Count Robert de La Rochefoucauld was made to be told in a film like this.

His Obituary

Just got out of an early screening…..this was not good unfortunately and I wanted to like it.

There’s some fun stuff action wise and performances by Alan Richardson and Cavill keep the movie fun/light enough that it wasn’t the worst time, but they put little effort in anything else.

Lot of issues with it, mainly there are never any real stakes. Never seen a movie make their protagonists as untouchable as this one. Felt like they were trying to do like 3 movies at once and couldn’t decide which. The only tension driven in the movie is from an overanxious score that tries to tell you the stakes are high but in reality it’s just another walk in the park

Nothing plot or character wise is ever close to be earned. The term “show and don’t tell” was never thought of when writing the script. Something needs to happen? Well it just happened because a character just said it happened. Need an emotional beat? Well now we’ve decided these characters are real close from their previous 2 lines. Everything from exposition to setting up the next scene is just bluntly said to the audience

Felt like the first draft of a script that Richie wrote doing lines while reading Ian Fleming novels with Inglorious Basterds playing in the background. There’s so much inglorious basterds homage/ satire/references that it just feels confusing.

Also Winston Churchill is arguably the lead character in this movie the way they ended up doing it. Half the movie is a WW2 movie and the other half is setting up a sort of heist/team up movie and both plots do a disservice to each other and really undercut the purpose of each

1. Saw the trailer at the theatre, before Civil War. Looks like fun.

2. The gal from the Dusk tilll Dawn series is a smoke show.
