A good movie but not one of the best.

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2017)

Dunkirk directed by Christopher Nolan (obviously) starring Fionn Whitehead (debut), Tom Hardy (face covered again!) and Mark Rylance among others is about the Dunkirk evacuation, the evacuation of Allied soldiers from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk (hence the name) in France. The extraordinary aspect about this evacuation was the participation of civilians in their small boats who crossed the English Channel to rescue their countrymen.
The movie tells the story from three perspectives the land, sea, and air. It must be noted that the film covers three different time periods in a non- linear fashion – 1 week on land, 1 day at sea and 1 hour in air. This may cause some confusion to viewers.
The movie is fast paced, each scene giving you a healthy dose of Adrenalin. The movie is also realistic with spectacular scenes, which are a visual treat. However the characters lack development and there is hardly any meaningful dialogue. The emotions of the characters are not explored. This means that there is very little emotional connect with the characters.
In conclusion a good film however not one of Nolan's best. Watch it for the spectacular scenes and Adrenalin rush that the movie is sure to bring.
