I'm 66 and have heard about about the actual Dunkirk throughout my life. I heard nothing but good to excellent reviews and went to see it yesterday with high anticipation. I was 1 of only 3 people in the theater. As I watched I kept waiting for excitement and story to develop. - It never did. Throughout I felt like leaving but kept thinking soon the real entertainment would begin. - It never did. This movie barely resembled anything I ever read or saw concerning the evacuation of Dunkirk. The person I went with gave it a (-2). The movie had confusing characters and scenes. If you want to see a good representation of Dunkirk see "World At War" - episode 4 - ALONE.
