Deserves its empty cinema

Rating: 2/10 (16 September 2007)

I went to see this at the local multiplex yesterday.There were only about 20 others in the cinema with me.We should have found a better way to spend the afternoon.It was a dreadful bore with startling inattention to detail.For example we were told that the film started in the summer of 1935.Then we were told after an hour that it was 4 years later and we were with the BEF in France,bit of a mistake there since it should have been 5 years.Dunkirk was then shown to be a cross between Dantes Inferno and the Battle of Stalingrad.No organisation and soldiers going to see Jean Gabin and Arletty in a film in a cinema on the beach.Given the fact that this film could not even outdraw Run Fatboy Run at the box office it looks as if there is little chance that this film will make back its money.So my advice is save your money and time unless you are in need of 2 hours sleep.
