Pride, appreciation and admiration

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2018)

Ok, so I've had to sign up to counter the soleless moron reviews.
I've seen a number of arguments why this film was bad.
First thing, appreacite that Britain was about to be lost as nation, I don't mean an empire, literally as a nation. Remember every close land alias was defeated and the USA were at least a year off the war and thousands of miles removed.
This is a story of absolute survival for a nation, like what have you got left in the tank to keep going. It's not a run through bullets Hollywood fake glamour war film. If Britain lost this battle all was lost, 400,000 men crowded a beach with the German army on three sides, hope was all but lost. Understand, to lose 400,000 men, an entire trained and experienced army when you're fighting for survival is significant.
This film captures what was a desirate struggle to save as many of that army as possible, it's not glamours and creates a sense of tension aand confusion appropriate to the monent.
Someone said it's load, WTF as they sit the sofa with a glass of wine.
On a side note Tom Hardy delivers an epic performance and continues to show signifant range as an actor.
If you want a glamour war film don't bother, you've not got the depth of character to understand this.
