Christopher Nolan's try at a historical epic.

Rating: 8/10 (26 January 2018)

Does it live up to the hype? Christopher Nolan directs and also writes this historical drama that chronicles the struggle to evacuate the more than 300,000 trapped Allied soldiers on the beaches of Northern France. Air, land and sea action during the tension filled 1940 invasion of Nazi forces. Solid storytelling matched superbly by Hans Zimmer's musical score; a flawless match with war sounds and bravery.
Some critics claim this movie falls short compared to Nolan's other great movies.
See it for yourself. DUNKIRK is what it is. My favorite sequences are the mass arrival of small British vessels and the flier Collins' selfless landing of his plane.
A very apt cast features: Fionn Whitehead, Mark Rylance, Jack Lowden, Tom Hardy, Barry Keoghan, Tom Glynn-Carney, Cillian Murphy, James D'Arcy and Kenneth Branagh
