Based on a true story. During WWII future James Bond novelist Ian Fleming (Freddie Fox) was leading a top-secret special ops force. In 1942 Great Britain was on the ropes. They needed to disrupt the U-boats in the Atlantic. The operation aimed to go to the tiny African coast island of Fernando Po and blow up a German boat filled with carbon dioxide filters. Fleming selected a "dirty half-dozen" group led by Gus March-Phillips (Henry Cavill) a man with whom he would base James Bond. The group included future screen actress Marjorie Stewart (Eiza González).

I am sure they took some liberty with the facts. The dialogue was refreshingly light. At times it looked like Henry Cavill was auditioning for the role of Captain Obvious.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
