Nolan's first good movie since The Dark Knight...

Rating: 5/10 (5 June 2018)

And that says alot, coming from me, because I hate most of Nolans movie. They're bloated, pretentios and very, very boring. Interstellar being his worst movie., And The Dark Knight Rises, his second worst movie. Because he ruined his own Batman triology with that abomination of a movie.
Dunkirk, however, is a very good movie. Al though not the masterpiece, Im sure all of the wannabe-intellectual movie snobs, here on imdb, praises it to be.
First of all, it's not too long. In these days when pretty much all movies have a run time of at least 2 and a half hours, a run time of 1 hour and 43 minutes, it never got boring. It kept me watching, with its constant suspense. And it was surprisingly brutal, despite, its kiddie friendly PG13 rating. Best acting I've seen in a Nolan movie, since Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. Except from Kenneth Branagh. I cant stand that man. Fortunately, he's not in this movie much.
Also nice, to not see Michael Caine in a Nolan movie for once. I hate that old fart and I widh he would retire, sooner rather than later.
Surprisingly good performance from Harry Styles. I dint expect that.
There wasn't really any leads in this movie. It was just alot of nameless soldiers and a few civilians. And it worked very well. It showed what its like to be a soldier in the middle of a war constantly being afraid and unable to trust anyone, that isnt british, and it does so, without becoming cliche.
That having been said, I hope Christopher Nolan is done using the same actors over and over and over again. Watching pretty much the same cast for the 5th time or so, is like watching movies made in Denmark, where I'm from. Where the same handful of actors appear in movies over and over and over again.
This movie does have some new actors in it. But since there are no leads and all of the young soldiers have dark hair and look pretty much the same, I still have no idea who they are. Except from Styles. And he's not even an actor. But after his performance here, I think we will see him in many more movies in the future, if he wants to continue acting.
This is the first movie I can truly recommend in a long long time.
