Really really poor movie, bad acting, gratingly bad music (if you can call it that), no character story and really badly made with zero respect for the history.

Modern scenes/items throughout (e.g., modern container terminal in backgrounds, modern fenders on the boats) a warship at anchor getting torpedoed, who anchors a ship in the middle of a battle? A spitfire with no fuel flying faster than it did when the engine was running then turning around to make one more kill before landing, with no engine running! A group of soldiers threatening to throw off a french guy overboard to lighten the load on their boat so it would float when its chest deep in water sinking. One minute the sea is calm and sunny, next minute its windy and overcast. Boats pro-porting to be evacuating 300,000 soldiers leaving the beach/port half empty, the beach scenes showing less than 5,000 soldiers lined up waiting to leave, where were all the others? Also neatly lined up ready to be shot at by panes and artillery. Could they not afford enough extras?

Director and writers did not show anything of the history or characters, they disrespected the viewer by thinking the type of events like the above were to be believed, just a horrible movie all round

Don't bother watching even when it is on TV

Cant believe the reviews are positive at all. Go compare it to well made classic war movies and then come back and give this one a 1 star like it deserves.

Better examples include Private Ryan, Gallipoli, The Longest Day, Bridge too far, etc
