Some how this Guy Ritchie film got lost. Despite getting really good reviews the film kind of went no where at the box office and I only caught it on cable.
The true story of a bunch of soldiers willing to fight war down and dirty, the film follows a band of misfits as they go to a Spanish island to stop a German freighter from being used as submarine supplier Ship. Of course t goes side ways and in unexpected ways. Sporting a cast that includes Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding among others, the film is an old school film done with modern sensibility. Blood flows and curses spoken. It’s a film that doesn’t rely on rapid cutting for effect but on situation and character. The result is a wonderful popcorn film.
I had a blast.
Is it high art- no but it’s damn entertaining.
