Bless Guy Ritchie.
I am not a fan of his movies, but it is nice to see a popular filmmaker be so productive.
Buoyed by a western-style score that sounds like a remix of every Ennio Morricone score.
In a similar vein as Ritchie’s Man from UNCLE, Ministry is a pastiche of men-on-a-mission movies from the fifties and sixties.
The actors seem to know it is a lark, and that is part of the problem.
It is not that tense, and there is no real sense of danger.
At 2 hrs, it is also too long. This thing needed to be 90 mins or less.
Henry Cavill might be the lead but the standout of the cast is Nu-Jack Reacher Alan Ritchson. He is legitimately great as Danish man-mountain armed with a bow and arrow.
With a more formidable antagonist and a sense of stakes, this movie might have been great.
As is, it is an amiable time waster.
