Good, but not great

Rating: 7/10 (25 February 2018)

Probably the closest we have ever had to a near physical resemblence to Churchill. Oldman had the mannerisms down, but his tone of voice wasn't even close, and his Churchill accent attempt was a complete failure. Should little pithy statements that are not part of historical record have been added in? The answer is no.. If you are going for historical accuracy, as you cannot help but having to do here in historical record areas, then BE accurate The historical material is dramatic enough, without messing with history in some areas. That being said, it was entertaining enough. Is it an Oscar winning role for Oldman? No, for the reasons already mentioned. To me, it was a better time waster than most of the usual garbage that's out there. But its not the Tour de Force people seem to think it is. Its worth a seven out of ten, but that's about it.
