Could've upped the ante and risked an R rating...

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2017)

Dramatizing one of WWII's least regarded events, Dunkirk is a powerhouse of suspense and a distinctive (but not fully realized) departure of the typical war film formula. I admire it for its vision and unique method of storytelling, backed up by some breathtaking and skillful cinematography, editing and tension-building musical score, but the character's lacked identity with incredibly forgettable performances and it's supremely underwhelming in terms of action. Could've upped the ante and risked an R rating. Didn't enjoy it to the level of most people.
