Adding explosions and panache to the real life story of Operation Postmaster, a group of special forces soldiers are secretly recruited by the British government to carry out a black ops sabotage mission to hijack and infiltrate a Nazi stronghold in 1940s German-occupied Europe. Guy Ritchie is usually more hit than miss, but this was a misfire on all counts, from its lackluster action sequences to its dull, hollow execution. If you like shallow action flicks that go boom, this one is for you. The heavily fictionalized events depicted here were also apparently the inspiration for Ian Fleming's James Bond character.
