Henry Cavill’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will be available to stream in Australia soon

It was a strategic move to put some of Hollywood’s most desired into one movie, or at least that’s what we think given the cast list on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

The film follows the true story of the first-ever special forces organisation formed by the UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials during World War II.

Despite being a special forces unit, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a more comedic retelling of the story, showing a more gruesome and chaotic side as opposed to what is told in history books.

Henry Cavill portrays Gus March-Phillips, the leader in a group of rogues and mavericks as they go on a mission against the Nazi’s, using completely unconventional and “ungentlemanly” – as the title suggests – fighting techniques.

The action-comedy was adapted by Arash Amel from the 2014 book Churchill’s Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII by author Damien Lewis.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare writer Arash revealed to Variety that the film crew took “creative liberties, but everything is rooted in truth.”

In the same interview, Henry admitted a lot of the scenes were “spur of the moment.”

“We all sit there in the morning, kick the scene around and come up with some during shooting. And if it works, it works; if it doesn’t, it doesn’t,” he said.

Joining Henry is Alan Ritchson as Anders Lassen, Alex Pettyfer as Geoffrey Appleyard, Henry Golding as Freddy Alvarez, Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Henry Hayes, Eiza Gonzalex as Majorie Stewart, and Babs Olusanmokun as Heron.
