Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is one of the war movies film fans are diligently waiting for. The feature first announced in February of last year boasts of stellar talents both behind and in front of the camera. The World War II epic is helmed by renowned director Guy Ritchie and stars Henry Cavill, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Henry Golding, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, and many more. The movie began principal photography last month and looks intriguing as Cavill shares the first look of the feature on Instagram.
The image looks like a piece out of time, black and white in nature, and features Fiennes, Golding, Ritchson, and Pettyfer on a boat, and boy, they've all got that sailor swag going on. All the men have got facial hair and it seems like they’ve been on a mission. But the stunning cinematic appeal of this period piece is quite evident from the new image. If not for being on Cavill’s Instagram, it could easily pass off as an archival image. Such is the magic of Ritchie’s vision that the image packs a power punch for fans to get hyped.
