Featured review
Watchable, but dissapointing.
Honestly, I expected more - especially once I learned that Guy Ritchie was involved - however, this film...it was just lacking in some way;
The intro was great, but from then on the film just seems unable to focus on a genre, on a feel, or on its plot and I'm not sure how exactly to describe it - perhaps some studio meddling?
For example - you get Freddie Fox, who played very convincing antagonist in "Slow Horses" to play Fleming, and he has, what - 2 lines in the entire movie? The unnamed radio-operator had more plot weight than Fleming's character, so why even bother including him - it all seemed rather pointless...
It's the same thing with Kambili - they spent 15 minutes of the movie on the matter of getting him and his men on their side only for him to do.. nothing? His men shot 5 mortar rounds, one got wounded and that was it; And the plot used his tug-boat...despite there being two other tug-boats... That whole plot-line just went nowhere, just so that Henry Cavill and Kambili can say goodbye to each other at the end. A meaningless goodbye, as neither character has any development whatsoever during the movie.
Also, Til Schweiger's character is also somehow supposed to be scary, because the movie... hints at him torturing people for a combined 20 seconds? And between that he is a complete doofus who gets easily manipulated and lied to? I'm sorry, but that just doesn't cut it.
There's a fine line between making a serious action-drama movie and an action-comedy, and it seems that Guy Ritchie was the man who knew how to tip-toe on that line perfectly, making for some spectacular pieces in the past.
But the "Ministry..." just ain't that. It just seems like a shame to gather such wonderful and famous actors and then make complete slop of their work.
