Boring, meaningless characters, lame action... walked out with 10 min left

Rating: 3/10 (2 August 2017)

This movie was flat out boring. I don't even know why they bothered to put Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy in this because anybody could have played the two characters. Cillian Murphy does absolutely nothing and Tom Hardy flies a magic plane with a broken fuel gauge because Hollywood had to figure out some way to make his plane fly forever while all his wingmates flamed out long before. Tom Hardy flies the ONLY plane to make it all the way to Dunkirk and he heroically saves everyone on the beach single handedly in plane that has absolutely no fuel left in it. Kenneth Branaugh paces up and down the pier in immaculate naval uniform dispensing folksy wisdom and showing grave concern while everyone else is getting the **** bombed out of them and strafed. Mark Rylance doesn't do squat either except show you how a timid pleasure boat yachter can still get up the nerve to steer his boat over to Dunkirk to pick up a few of the lads. Yet another in a long string of "audience favs" that I just didn't agree with.
