Dunkirk - True warfare

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2017)

I left Dunkirk feeling an unusual sense of sadness. There is, at least for me, a tendency to become very desensitised to war films after you watch so many and yet Dunkirk has knocked me out of the park with it's magnificent beach-bound atmosphere. Every bullet is real and threatening, the sound of metal on metal as they hit various materials is a shock without fail. A plane flying overhead is a death machine swooping down to take you away. Dunkirk is a portrait of fear and goodness me is it hard to look away.
See this on a big screen with the best sound near you, relax as best you can and let Nolan's masterpiece take you back in time to a moment of mankind's brutality that should never be forgotten.
