A poignant reminder of so many owing so much to so few

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2017)

Is this a great classic that will last the test of time? Probably not. Does it suffer from Nolan chronology? A little, yes.
Is it a poignant reminder of the deeds of so few to ensure the freedoms that so many take for granted in today's world we live? Yes it is.
If you are expecting an epic war film with bullets and bombs aplenty then you really should stay clear or rather perhaps you shouldn't and go watch it to educate yourself as this is a movie more about the people who find themselves thrust into wars and their actions throughout.
The movie does nothing to glorify war and nearly steers clear of making a hero out of anyone in the movie altogether instead it highlights the deeds and spirit of the British people during wartime.
It was also a nice touch for those that remembered the movie Battle of Britain made back in the 60's starring a young Michael Caine as a fighter pilot to have him as a cameo in the same role albeit as a voice over only.
