I give this movie a rating of "meh". It has a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes but it really isn't that great. It's okay, but not great.
This is "based on a true story" but obviously takes a tremendous amount of poetic license with the facts.
The actual true story is based on some of Winston Churchill's files declassified in 2015, and I have downloaded the book. I've read a zillion books on WWII.
This is an action movie about a plot to stop the German U-boats from terrorizing the North Atlantic using unconventional means. Churchill and Ian Fleming (yes, that Ian Fleming) put together a ragtag group of roughnecks to pull off the job. Much hilarity ensues.
The Dirty Dozen this isn't. You might want to wait until this is on a streaming platform rather than spend your money at the box office.
Eiza Gonzalez is VERY nice to look at.
