Good, but not great

Rating: 6/10 (1 August 2017)

Perhaps the greatest human evacuation of all time when considering the amount of soldiers and sailors saved and the adverse conditions, this movie handles the story fairly well. It is a good movie, but not great. It is interesting and shows what conditions were like for some of the combatants/evacuees. This rescue saved so many soldiers who were able to return to battle later in the war it is remarkable, because the Nazis had superior equipment and manpower at the time. It did not show enough of the rear guard protecting the evacuation by stalling the Nazi drive long enough for the flotilla of boats to save so many people.
