The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

The British are losing to Hitler’s Atlantic U-Boat campaign systematically sinking Allied military and commercial shipping. Churchill is under pressure from his military to surrender but demurs and goes unconventional by creating a small cadre of misfits to destroy the U-Boat program with a no-rules program and James Bond daring.

A well told story of British humor meeting up with Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant. Lots of gratuitous violence and no sex.
