Solid! Extraordinary! Phenomenal!

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2018)

I don't give out 9/10 ratings very often, but, this film is definitely worth ever star. I have been waiting for a film to come around that would showcase Gary Oldman's incredible acting prowess and this film was it! He captured the very essence of Churchill so magnificently and dynamically that I had to remind myself this was not the real Churchill. Very few actors have that level of skill.
The directing and the supporting cast were excellent. The cinematography was very good as well. The script and plot were well written and executed. This film hit on all eight cylinders.
For my part, I cannot understand why the critics gave this film such a luke warm review. The 5+ star rating on IMDB is simply not justified and is perhaps another instance where the pros got it wrong.
This is an Oscar caliber film with an Oscar caliber performance by Mr. Oldman.
