I’m glad the algorithm put The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in front of me. My life didn’t change, but I enjoyed the two hours.

Directed by Guy Ritchie, the movie is based—very loosely—on a real British operation during World War II. Winston Churchill authorizes a secret mission to disrupt the German U-boat fleet, then hands the job to a group of men who aren’t exactly known for following rules.

Henry Cavill leads the group as Gus March-Phillipps, and he’s clearly having a good time. He’s joined by Henry Golding, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Alan Ritchson, while Eiza González and Babs Olusanmokun work another part of the mission from inside enemy territory.

Don’t mistake any of this for a history lesson. The heroes are absurdly capable, the Nazis are mostly there to be shot, stabbed, blown up or hit with arrows, and you rarely believe the mission is going to end any other way.

Normally that would bother me.

Here, it didn’t.

The cast is likable, the movie moves quickly and there’s just enough humor without turning the whole thing into a joke.

It’s not one of the great World War II movies.

It is, however, an entertaining way to spend an evening.
