I see that Dunkirk is being released under a different title across Europe, it's being called

BREXIT 1
The only time the British got to the Beach before the Germans.

The Invisible Guest - 8/10

Very good, old fashioned thriller. Who done what to whom? Nicely done.

Went to see "DUNKIRK" tonight.

It is dificult to explain, but the film could have been soooo good, the effects/fx etc were superbly done and the characters were either very good or bad...the thing that greatly contributed to ruining the film (besides bad directorial choices/decisions and methods) was the film score, it seemed to be trying to pound the audience into submission. I am a fan of all kinds of music and in the past I have seen Motorhead, L. Zep, B. Sabbath, Metallica and the one and only Purple when they were the loudest band in the world...but they were nothing on this, I even enquired about the sound levels after the film and was told that the level was the one set by the engineer at the final mix level...it was awful...the music and sounds themselves were badly composed and ill chosen....I ended up watching the film with my fingers in my ears....it was THAT LOUD...a few people left, one guy went to ask them to turn it down, of course they couldn't.

I had a distant uncle who was at Dunkirk, he has long passed away, but he never ever would speak of it, except to say it was Hell Come Alive and that it would haunt him all his life, and he was one tough cookie.

Having seen some of the things that they went through in the film; based on real accounts /reports, I can only guess at how bad they must have been for - Very Young Men who were Incredibly Brave and Courageous as they faced incredible adversity and Death...

This film has done nothing to really honour them...It could have but it didn't.....Nolan the director has a good reputation...but he blew it with this over -directed and over produced effort. :cry:

He was barely noticeable - Such was his 'presence' on screen !

Kenneth Brannagh is on screen for 2 minutes in total at most and just by doing nothing (or appearing to) he shows how it should be done.

Pretty good flick, and a good remake. Not very scary but a fun film to watch. Some of the kids' dialogue was actually very funny.
