Churchill as hero.

Rating: 8/10 (18 April 2018)

This movie contains lots of stagy acting with character depictions that approach the brink of caricature. Gary Oldham's portrayal of Churchill is especially cheesy. Nevertheless, this movie includes some powerfully dramatic scenes showing Churchill's self-doubts and indecisiveness over whether to negotiate with Hitler. Those familiar with the history of World War Two know how Churchill resolves this dilemma, but for those less familiar with the history, the theatrics contain much drama. Will he or won't he cave in? Will Britain become another France? To find out the answer, read a history book about the period or watch the movie. Either way, you will learn something interesting.
