Untold Tale of Origin Of Spy
18 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I saw The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, starring Henry Cavill-Argylle, Mission: Impossible_Fallout; Alan Ritchson-Reacher_tv, Titans_tv; Alex Pettyfer-Black Noise, Magic Mike and Eiza Gonzalez-Ambulance, Bloodshot.

This movie is based on a true story and a book called Churchill's Secret Warriors: The Explosive Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WW2 by Damien Lewis. During WW2, a group was formed on Winston Churchill's orders to take part in an unsanctioned mission to cripple the German U_boats that were patrolling the Atlantic Ocean, keeping supplies and American soldiers from reaching England. If Churchill's mission was discovered, he would have been removed from office and the team sent to prison. Henry plays Gus March_Phillips, the leader of the team. FYI: It is rumored that Ian Fleming created James Bond, based on Gus. Alan, Alex and Eiza are other members of the team. They take on German soldiers, both on land and sea in their mission and face overwhelming odds and as the end credits start, you learn what happened to each of the members, later in their lives.

It's rated R for violence and language and has a running time of 2 hours.

If you are a fan of Bond-like me-or a history buff, you should enjoy this untold tale. I did and would buy it on DVD.
