The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (R)
Lots of shooting and explosions in semi-true World War II story.
“The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is a lightweight, fast-paced Guy Ritchie-directed action movie set during World War II and based (loosely) on an actual secret mission to deprive German U-boats of supplies. Violence is frequent and almost cartoonish in tone and includes the untimely deaths of many Nazi villains. Expect to see guns and shooting, stabbing and slicing, characters being wounded with arrows, explosions, blood spurts/sprays, implications of torture (a character is shackled by the wrists and hung from the ceiling, and a person has electrodes clamped to his nipples), and more. There’s flirting, both calculated and comical, as well as brief sex-related language and a quick glimpse of a man’s naked bottom. The word “f---” is used twice, and characters smoke (cigars and cigarettes) and drink socially/casually throughout the movie. (120 minutes)
