Dull disjointed and boring

Rating: 2/10 (30 December 2017)

For a close run escape of 300,000 British and French soldiers, this movie is awfully dull.
The pacing is ridiculously slow and the continuity at times silly. As an example, an RAF pilot runs our of fuel, the scene cuts to ships at see, night falls then it is light again and the pilot is still gliding across the beach to an uneventful landing. In the actual history about 10,000 small craft heeded their countries call and swarmed ashore. In the movie, we see only one lone boat crossing the sound for the first two thirds of the movie. Then all of a sudden we see about 30 boats the music swells and we see one or two boats loaded. Nothing like the massive chaotic scene that must have actually taken place. This movie has no sense of drama, no sense of pacing and no sense of history.
