Snoozefest

Rating: 2/10 (23 July 2017)

This movie was all over the place and extremely boring. Lots of overly dramatic build up and then it sputters out like one of the Spitfire's landing in the sea. There really were no leading characters, just different story lines that merge together in the end. I did not feel the fear or suspense of the retreating soldiers like some of the positive reviews have said. I understand that not every war movie needs to be gratuitously violent and rather tell a story, but the characters really had nothing that can excite or interest a viewer. Most of the characters are extremely boring and show little to no emotion. The one shell-shocked soldier portrayed seems almost forced. I never really cared about anyone because they were all severely undeveloped characters. I don't even know any of their names because they were so forgettable. Lacks in action and story. I am sure that their is a great story to tell about Dunkirk, but this movie didn't deliver.
