Those preparing for a wagon load of Guy Ritchie tropes, rest easy. For although the director’s latest film features plenty of posh men doing suave things with cut-glass accents, this neatly dodges many Ritchie-isms in favour of a very slick war film.
Earlier this year, we had Ritchie’s TV series The Gentlemen – a Netflix caper that saw Theo James as the heroic titular gent being posh, getting involved in scrapes and having a jolly good punch up every now and again. This time around, it’s Henry Cavill’s turn, and while the suaveness is indeed dialled up to 100, there still feels like there’s something lacking here.
