Directed by Christopher Nolan, its a lot like his other movies: sparse dialogue, multiple points of view, inventive cinematography. During May of 1940, the British army had been pushed back to the shores of France. A retreat was in order and normally that is the deadliest part of battle. But in homage to Churchill, "Never ever quit, in all things great and small".
The small boat rescue call went out and the smaller boats were able to ferry back 300,000 men from France back to Britain.
Mark Rylance has the most distinguishing turn in the movie. Like Robert Duvall, its going to be a good movie with them in it. See Bridge of Spies, which was a similar wartime movie. Also the aerial fighter pilot scenes were the best I've seen since Top Gun. High praise.
Hard to tell who is who as actors since there is little dialogue. It's mainly a survival movie. Well done.
