WW2 was a brutal event in human history, more than 90 million souls perished.

The best WW2 films acknowledge the fact that this was a war, but this film does the opposite as is demonstrated by its 12 rating. In an effort to maximize profits it presents a fictitious, sanitised, version of what war looks like.

Possibly one of the worst post war films to cover events.

The evacuation of Dunkirk was a pivotal moment in history, when trapped betwen the English Channel, the advancing German Army, and no Navy within reach to enact a rescue, Churchill ordered the Admiralty to commandeer every single available civilian ship within reach to ev acuate 400,000 soldiers - or the Army in it's entirety. 800 vessels took part and ultimately succeeded.

None of these facts are made clear or even hinted at in the film, despite the films much lauded, huge budget. Where did the money go?

Considering the subject matter, this film is a failure.
