Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn real life, one of the lesser-known members of the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was Sir Christopher Lee. Lee was a step-cousin of Ian Fleming, and Fleming first suggested him for the title role in Dr. No (1962) while golfing together. The part went to Joseph Wiseman instead, but Lee ended up playing another Bond villain - Francisco Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). Also, Lee famously used his experience in the Ministry operations to educate Sir Peter Jackson, when filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy, on the "sound a man makes when is stabbed in the back."
- GoofsThe film is set during the Blitz of London, which ended in May 1941. However, during the first sequence with Churchill, the newsreel being played shows the sinking of HMS Barham and the attack on Pearl Harbor, which happened in November and December 1941, respectively. Also, it seems odd that Churchill uses a reel of the attack on Pearl Harbor as an example of the casualties of the war in Europe, especially against U-boats.

Featured review
Let me start with the positives.
Like most Guy Ritchie films, the ensemble has great chemistry. Henry Cavill doesn't disappoint, he keeps the pace going and interactions between everyone fun to watch. Alan Ritchson does great as a force of nature, dude is built like a tank. Babs Olusanmokun is slick, he has a very smooth demeanor to his performance. Lastly, Eiza Gonzalez is absolutely beautiful, however her performance was hit or miss for me. But she hit more than she missed.
Now, the negatives.
The movie doesn't feel like it was even made by Guy Ritchie. Instead it feels like someone else were trying to make a "Guy Ritchie" film.
I would watch it again, but it is not in my recommendation list if I were to convince someone to get into Guy Ritchie films.
