A Modern Classic

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2018)

Honestly, this title reminded me of Jaws more than any other movie (what with its scenes heavily punctuated by an anxiety inducing score, and also cause, you know, slow sinking ships); but rather than the looming fear of a killer shark, the fear is warranted by an ever-present hostile force.
It gets an 8 rather than a 9 because it spent more time than what was needed focusing on the civilian boat crew and because its climax wasn't necessary-the film would have remained largely the same if the 3 perspectives never crossed over each other at that one finite point.
I had a better review written down here but my computer crashed so my initial thoughts are gone forever lol, but I did enjoy Dunkirk and it enlightened me on the hardships WWII veterans had to endure. I'm glad I saw this movie and wouldn't mind seeing it again.
