Intense war drama about the evacuation of the British Army during WW2.

My favourite scenes were the ones involving the Spitfires, these were pretty good.

The epic fail in this movie is not portraying the scale of 400,000 men waiting on the beach. I suppose they did not want to use CGI and using extras was not practical.

The intensity and entertainment factor dries up mid-way but the ending is incredibly uplifting.

It almost but not quite scrapes an 8* for the Spitfire scenes and the dramatic ending.
