Dunkirk surely will be remembered as one of the best war movies ever made.

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2017)

Although Dunkirk is technically a war film, its tone and style are those of a high-octane thriller. For his most serious-minded film to date, Christopher Nolan has employed all the weapons in his arsenal to craft something that, despite the Oscar-unfriendly July release date, will almost certainly be remembered when the Best Picture nominations are handed out.Dunkirk is also one of the best-scored films in recent memory, and Hans Zimmer's music plays as important a role as any character.Dunkirk satisfies as a brisk, gripping survival story. At only 107 minutes, it's also astonishingly short in an era when most movies needlessly run on long beyond the two-hour mark.Dunkirk is less of an epic than Interstellar or the Dark Knight movies – it's more tightly focused with no fat on the bones. The experience is primal yet satisfies intellectually and emotionally.
My Rating : 4/5
