Heard only. Haven't seen it. Reports from friends are that it is fantastic. Intense I heard more than once. Not a movie for escapism. More of a plunge into the visceral nature of war. From previews alone I would concur with that. Every time I saw trailers I thought, wow....but I'm not sure I'm up for the challenge.Originally Posted by Mark Rippetoe

The best actor in the western world, Mark Rylance, is in it. Not sure how big of a part he has.

Saw it last night. Worth seeing on the big screen. Saving Private Ryan level action and story, falling short of that standard for effects and script -very sparse dialogue, and not always intelligible. Not sure how I feel about ending with Churchill's words about the "new world" needing to engage.

I thought Dunkirk was great. But it's name should be changed to Suspense: The Movie.

I thought Dunkirk was more relentingly intense than Saving Private Ryan. Far less down time between action, torpedoes, air attacks, etc. I have to admit, sometimes the accents of the RAF guys were a little impenetrable with their oxygen masks on. Also the sounds of the Stukas with their Gabriel horns in dive attack were really rattling. I can see why they got used to fuck the enemies heads.

Dunkirk was one the best films I have seen in a long time. I strongly recommend it

Better than "Fury" or even "Hacksaw Ridge"?? I just saw both of these last week and was thoroughly impressed!

Fury and Kelly's Heroes demonstrate that you can make a great tank movie with either 1 or 3 tanks.
