Although he has been rooted in the field of action movies for many years, it is difficult for Guy Ritchie's entire directorial career to receive much praise from film critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Even his feature-length debut film " Two Smoking Barrels " has not received much praise from film critics. It only gets a 75% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
But Guy Ritchie's films are usually critical successes among fans. For example, "Operation Golden Boom" released last year only received 51% of the critics' scores, but it received 82% of the popcorn index from fans; 2021's "" even received 90% of the popcorn index. % popcorn index.
Of course, these two films have one thing in common, that is, they both star Jason Statham, the most powerful person on the planet. Undoubtedly, Jason Statham has a lot of influence in the hearts of movie fans for these two films that are considered bad by film critics. Less good reviews. Of course, there is no Guo Dasen in the upcoming "Ungentleman's War".
Guy Ritchie has hired "Superman" Henry Cavill to star in his new film this time. Of course, fans who were fooled by "Argyle" can rest assured that this time Superhero is really the leading actor. In addition to Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, who is well-known to fans for his American TV series "Jack Reacher" series, also stars in the film, so although there is no Jason Statham, this "Unforgettable" "Gentleman's War" is still an action blockbuster for tough men.
Of course, if you have a hunk, you can’t do without a sexy girl. Elsa Gonzalez, who was well-known to more viewers for starring in Netflix’s “三级”, will also show off her charm in the film. A macho man paired with a beautiful woman, this lineup is not perfect but at least it is perfect.
In terms of plot, the film will introduce to movie fans the origins of the British SAS, the world's earliest special forces organization, and is based on recently declassified British War Department documents. It tells the story of France falling into the hands of the Nazis in 1939, and the then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that Britain would resist the German army's attack. In order to defeat the seemingly unstoppable German war machine, he decided to stop fighting under the accepted gentleman's rules of engagement and quickly and secretly developed a special military unit the world had never seen before and the first covert operation in Britain. The Troop - Made up of survivalists, free thinkers, misfits and outright criminals.
The members of this team possess a variety of skills, can penetrate behind enemy lines with complete autonomy, and their defiance of the rules of war has become the first batch of "deniable" agents of the Special Operations Bureau, and the first batch to truly achieve "killing". License" who achieved important victories in the war against the Nazis.
Careful movie fans can probably guess after reading the plot introduction that this "Ungentleman's War" may be a remake of "Inglourious Basterds". Of course, Guy Ritchie is not Quentin Tarantino, so he may not be able to film it. There are no World War II-themed movies like Quentin's where violent aesthetics and black humor coexist, but Guy Ritchie still has his own violent aesthetic style.
Okay, let’s take a look at the box office prospects of "Ungentleman's War". Although the film looks very exciting, the industry is not optimistic about the box office prospects of this new film. Currently, the film's first weekend box office forecast is only Between US$5 million and US$8 million.This may be another box office failure for Guy Ritchie after "Covenant" (global box office of $21 million) and "Golden Jackpot" (global box office of $48 million).
