Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Affairs (2024)

A small group of unorthodox military specialists is chosen by Winston Churchill for a secret mission.

'Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Affairs' is based on some quasi-true facts, and Guy Ritchie applied his characteristic style to create a film with characters full of cheap bravado and uninspired dialogue.

Director:  Guy Ritchie     

With: Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Cary Elwes, Eiza González, Til Schweiger, Rory Kinnear

Rating: 6/10

Rating: 8/10

Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)

A village of farmers on a pacifist moon is forced to take extreme defensive measures after an unjust attack by the ruling force.

'Rebel Moon - Part One' is the first part of a futuristic fantasy series, created by Zack Snyder, which is a welcome change in a genre oversaturated with Star Wars and all of its spin-offs. It's not extraordinary, but it has a very well-chosen cast and some well-coordinated martial-style fight sequences and not just confrontations with futuristic guns and "pew-pew" at every turn.

Director:  Zack Snyder      

With: Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Bae Doona, Charlie Hunnam, Anthony Hopkins, Staz Nair, Cary Elwes

Rating: 6.5/10

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2023)

A team of secret agents for hire participates in a mission in which they have to find out what was stolen, by whom and who is the buyer.

'Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre' is the latest Guy Ritchie made production. Fresh but uninteresting, the film manages to bring back to attention names that were once on everyone's lips (Josh Hartnett, Cary Elwes..) but unfortunately without a suitable script. It works ok as a run of the mill spy film, but it is far below expectations for a Guy Ritchie movie.

Director:  Guy Ritchie    

With: Jason Statham, Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Hugh Grant, Josh Hartnett, Eddie Marsan, Peter Ferdinando
