Amazon Prime lets Henry Cavill romp through Nazi-occupied Europe as a Bond pioneer. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare comes out in two days
Henry Cavill will never play James Bond. That’s now a fact that fans have to come to terms with. That doesn’t mean he can’t deliver absolute top performances elsewhere as the British agent. On July 25, he’ll be giving plenty of Nazis a run for their money in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Amazon Prime’s Bond blockbuster with Henry Cavill is based on a true story
Officer Gus March-Phillips (Cavill) is actually in a British prison, but in 1941 Britain’s stock against Nazi Germany is low. So the bloodthirsty soldier is tasked with putting together a powerful force for a secret mission
Watch the trailer for The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare here:
In order to stop the German submarine threat in the Atlantic and clear the way for American war aid, March-Philips and his men are to destroy a supply ship on the west coast of Africa.
Director Guy Ritchie (The Gentlemen) based his story on a true story: In the so-called Operation Postmaster, a British commando actually went up against Axis supply ships in 1942. The course of the mission reads almost like a 007 novel.
As the trailer already shows, Ritchie has assembled an illustrious cast for his war film action. In addition to Cavill, Alan Ritchson (Reacher) and Til Schweiger can also be seen in front of the camera.
