Definitely not the film of the year

Rating: 1/10 (23 July 2017)

Disappointed - script and acting were poor - also considering that 800 vessels and 16 RAF squadrons were involved in rescuing the troops, the depiction of just a handful of boats and planes didn't portray the enormity of what happened - the constant switching between air, land and sea did not help at all. The portrayal of soldiers using devious & callous means to get a 'lift home' was not typical of the hundreds of brave men who waded into water for many hours to be ferried by small boats to the larger destroyers. And why show one rescued soldier accidentally killing a 16yr old boy - this was not what Dunkirk was all about. The film was boring and left me annoyed that reality was ruined by half baked fiction
