quite poor

Rating: 3/10 (4 January 2019)

I find it hard not to agree with one or two of the reviewers, to describe this as a movie masterpiece is a bit of a joke, if you think that the 1958 John Mills version would scare the wits out of you, apart from a handful of real actors doing their best to save it and one or two fairly good scenes this was a rather dull, slow moving low budget version of what happened. Dunkirk was a big event, over 300,000 troops, hundreds of aircraft and ships were fighting and saving lifes, what do you see here, a 100 or so extras in tin hats looking sad, only 3 spitfires, no hurricanes of which there many involved, 2 me109s and a handful of bombers, and last but not least a 1960/70 french destroyer which we were suppose to imagine looked like a 1930s british destroyer, not even close, this was more like a bad day trip for a few soldiers than the war ending disaster it could have been if not for the heroes who saved them
