Watch “Apocalypse Now” (1979), “Full Metal Jacket” (1987) or “Platoon” (1986) and you should know what war really means. “Ungentlemanly Warfare” features a disreputable band of riff raff brought together for a super-secret mission. Ritchie makes no such concessions to authenticity in “Ungentlemanly Warfare.”Henry Cavill is Gus March-Phillips in Guy Ritchie’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." Even when a war movie doesn’t actively mislead you, the promise of being privy to an unvarnished, authentic and extreme experience can be seductive. “It would decay in eternal peace.”Compared to that kind of cult of authentic war, “Ungentlemanly Warfare” feels fairly harmless, and not in a bad way.

  + stars: | 2023-11-01 | by ( Beatrice Loayza | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
“Wingwomen” is the rare French action movie directed by a woman, Mélanie Laurent, the breakout star of “Inglourious Basterds” turned filmmaker in her native France. Laurent also stars as the film’s veteran thief, Carole, a steely, chiseled blonde. 2, is Alex (Adèle Exarchopoulos), an expert sniper and an unabashed flirt whom the older Carole recruited years ago for a diamond heist. Now a seasoned crime team, Carole is the brains, Alex the muscle. Alex gets bruised and bloodied, but so does the meathead baddie.

Time, job markets and Elon Musk have made Bentley Little’s “The Consultant” even more of an allegory than it was when the novel was first published in 2015, although its vision of workplace horror is probably timeless: In the wake of a violent upheaval at a midsize tech company, a “consultant” arrives, moves into the boss’s office, starts trimming the staff, selling the furniture, reshaping a business he knows nothing about and warning that the end is near. No employee has the authority to throw him out—or, for that matter, the courage. Having Christoph Waltz play the ostensible villain in writer-developer Tony Basgallop ’s eight-part adaptation of Mr. Little’s book is to make use of the actor’s unnervingly precise Teutonic presence, which has been a mischievous and elastic feature in such films as “Inglourious Basterds” and “Django Unchained” (both of which won him Oscars). His intent can be good or bad, but is always vaguely ironic. As such, it is a mixed blessing in what is essentially a mystery in slow motion that keeps tilting toward comedy.
