The Mosley Review: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

Do you wanna know why we constantly revisit World War II in film? It isn't because it was the greatest war. It isn't because of the enginuity that came from it. Its because it features the most robust stories ever to be told or discovered whether its from the American or the European campaign. There are probably hundreds of classified documents that are still sealed to this day and it is always fascinating to see them revealed. Yes, we love the heroism in the stories about the front lines, but what's more interesting to see is the internal planning of all Allied Forces and how they're plans get executed. Whether they succeed or fail is the real drama and the stuff of legend that ends up inspiring fictional characters we all know and love. That is what this film lovingly highlights and I have to say it was a smooth and joyful ride has good suspense with great action and comedy. The tone was a bit off at times as it would struggle with wanting to be a smart espionage driven story and a adventure film with little consequence for the heroes in the story.

Henry Cavill truly charms every moment he's on screen as Gus March-Phillipps. He was a fun leader of the ragtag team of mercenaries and I liked his controlled nature. He never really seemed to have doubts, but he did have a moment or too that he felt challenged. The amount of glee and calm he has in this film was cool in the more action driven scenes. The most standout moment of the film truly comes from his introductive scene as within in five minutes, you understand the man and his motivation. Alan Ritchson was good and brutal as his fellow merc, Anders Lassen. I liked the banter he had with Gus as the film went along and how eager and efficient of a Nazi killer he was. Henry Golding was fun and smart as the explosive expert of the team, Freddy Alvarez. The banter between him and Anders was fun as they would tease each other often. Hero Fiennes Tiffin was good as Henry Hayes and even though he didn't have that much depth, he was effective and a valued navigator in the war occupied Atlantic Ocean. Alex Pettyfer was cool and collected as Gus's oldest friend, Geoffrey Appleyard. You really felt the bond and history between them in the scenes that they had together. Cary Elwes is always a joy to see on screen and as Brigadier Gubbins 'M', he was perfectly royal and commanding as the leader of the secret operation the team is recruited for. Freddie Fox was good as the iconic Ian Fleming and I loved that he was apart of the operation from beginning to end. He wasn't a forgotten character and I liked that he seemed to plotting out his soon to be famous character. Rory Kinnear was fantastic and steadfast as Winston Churchill. He had a dominating presence and sense of urgency that is needed for the legendary Prime Minister. Eiza González and Babs Olusanmokun were fantastic as Marjorie Stewart and Mr. Heron. Their chemistry together was great and I enjoyed their convert planning and business deals. Eiza charms the screen with such control in her more tense dialogue scenes and Babs was that quiet type of dangerous that you never saw coming. Til Schweiger is always intense as a hero or villain and as Heinrich Luhr, there is an amount of sinister motivation in his eyes that made him the marquee antagonist.

The score by the director's frequent collaborator, Christopher Benstead, was good, quirkie and epic toward the end of the film. I felt the tension in the finale the most thanks to his score as the action kicks off and the plan doesn't go as smooth. Like I said before, the tone was a little all over the place at times since you have so many parts moving at once. Director Guy Ritchie's flair for elaborate planning was on display, but it felt a little rusty in its execution. Its a massive cast so not everyone has a chance to have a moment to shine outside of the action. Maybe some of them didn't really have much to work with or the real people in the true story the film was based on weren't that deep. Either way, I still had fun with the film and I enjoyed the action. Is it gonna be one of the most memorable films of Guy Ritchie's filmography, no, but it'll be a fun one to view once in awhile. Let me know what you thought of the film or my review in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

Before becoming the imposing Jack Reacher in the hit Prime Video series, Alan Ritchson took a swing at another iconic hero: Thor. However, his initial approach to the audition led him down a path of self-discovery and ultimately, to a career-defining role. Ritchson, known for his physique and action prowess, revealed in a recent Men's Health cover story that he auditioned for the God of Thunder in the 2011 Marvel film. He admits to entering the audition with a naive assumption: "I didn't take it seriously," he confessed. "I was like, 'They'll throw me the part if I look like the guy; nobody really cares about acting.'" However, the casting team saw through his lack of dedication. They informed Ritchson's representatives that while he fit the physical mold, he hadn't showcased the necessary "craft" for the role. The part ultimately went to Chris Hemsworth, who went on to embody Thor across multiple Marvel films. [caption id="attachment_1729" align="aligncenter" width="681"] Getty Images / Courtesy of Everett Collection[/caption] This setback proved to be a turning point for Ritchson. At the time, he had already established himself in pop culture with appearances in "American Idol," "Smallville," and the cult comedy series "Blue Mountain State." He anticipated being flooded with comedy offers after "Blue Mountain State," but the reality was different. The failed "Thor" audition served as a wake-up call. Ritchson acknowledged the need to take his acting seriously. He enrolled in acting classes and actively pursued smaller roles, appearing in shows like "Black Mirror," "New Girl," and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." This dedication led him to a recurring role as Hawk in "Titans" from 2019 to 2021. [caption id="attachment_1730" align="aligncenter" width="810"] Ritchson is seen filming Jack Reacher season 2 in New York City earlier this year.

When he landed the lead role in "Reacher," the adaptation of Lee Child's popular novels, his career took a giant leap forward. "I had about 50 offers the weekend after Season 1 of 'Reacher' opened," he said, reflecting on the significant change in his career trajectory. "I knew my life had changed." Ritchson's story serves as an inspiration for aspiring actors and anyone facing setbacks. It highlights the importance of acknowledging shortcomings, focusing on improvement, and persevering through challenges. While he initially misjudged the role of Thor, the experience led him down a path of self-discovery and ultimately, to his own version of superhero success.
