Prime Video just landed a massive win, announcing that Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is now streaming. In a statement, Amazon confirmed the film is available in numerous countries, including the UK and Australia, promising another hit from Ritchie.
Prime Video has been on a roll, securing numerous blockbusters in 2024. Films like Saltburn, American Fiction, The Zone of Interest, and Anatomy of a Fall have already made waves. Now, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare joins the ranks as a must-watch action-packed extravaganza.
The film stars Henry Cavill as Gus March-Phillips, a British soldier tasked with disabling Germany’s U-boat fleet during World War II. Though based on a true story, Ritchie infuses his signature comedy and high-octane action, creating a film more focused on entertainment than historical accuracy. The stellar cast includes Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Babs Olusamokun, Eiza González, Henry Golding, and Roy Kinnear as Winston Churchill.
Released in cinemas in April 2024, the movie didn’t make a huge box office splash but is expected to thrive on streaming. It garnered a mix of positive reviews, a testament to Ritchie’s ability to entertain. The Chicago Sun-Times praised it as a “stylish, cartoonishly violent, slick, and relatively mindless popcorn movie,” awarding it a 3/4 score.
IGN gave it a 7/10, highlighting Ritchson’s scenes as a highlight. The Guardian rated it 3/5, appreciating Ritchie’s knack for crafting engaging action sequences and the film’s gleeful violence.
With such reviews, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is the kind of film perfect for a streaming platform, offering explosive entertainment without the need for a cinema trip.
Prime Video also streams Ritchie’s previous works, including Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre and the more serious Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant. While US viewers can stream these, they might have to rent them.
Don’t miss out on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare—it’s available now on Prime Video.
