One man went against the grain, stood tall and changed a nation to no surrender, don't give in and forged a new hope in European theatre of war thou shall not pass

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2018)

In a career already filled with great performances, Gary Oldman has arguably saved the best until now.
This film is two hours long but it fells like a prequel to last years Dunkirk. As Winston Churchill in Atonement director Joe Wright's relentlessly gripping, race-against-time biopic Is Oldman about to get a an oscar nod for best actor and sure he might win it took, Oldman does that rare thing - makes you think he's the first and last to ever play the British wartime leader who is a drunk.
Motivating a the heart and souls of the parliament and the British people.
Oldman disappears into his his its hard to recognise him . as we see the old prime mister Nevill losing his seat because he is no good to the role.
As we see Churchill strategies come under fire from the war cabinet with motivating speeches with lily Jame's character following and typing his ever word his war office try to undermine him. but just as the darkest hour approaches he looks to the people for wisdom , in an interesting and climatic sen before he meets Parliament he absconds from his car as he is missing in actin from a war meeting to get on the tube to engage and find the real heart and vision of great Britain and go to parliament and give a rousing speech.
to give a fighting chance to the soldiers of Dunkirk and help save a nation,
and say thou shall not pass these border a best film if I ever saw one
Kirsten Scot as wife Clementine, Ben Mendelsohn as King George VI and Lily James as just-hired secretary Elizabeth Layton, Darkest Hour has just as much for fans of The Crown as lovers of The Cruel Sea. A must see
