I watched this last night. Found it very frustrating because all the parts were there to make a good movie. The sets were good. Budget was good. Everything looked great. It's loosely based on a true story which was pretty nuts and should have made for a very good, high risk commando raid type story. Sadly, the tone was way off for me. Guy Ritchie decided to portray the commandos/SOE agents as a wacky band of hyper-competent unconventional misfits and the Axis and Spanish forces as bumbling morons so there was no sense of risk or tension at all. To me, it came across as a bad combination of an episode of The A-Team, Hogan's Heroes, and Inglorious Bastards.
Really wanted to like it but it left me cold in the end because it could have and should have been so much better than it was.

+1 agree
This is sad as a friend recommended this to me recently.
