Christopher Nolan did a solid job depicting such a terrifying and helpless event from WWII. You could really sense the utter desperation that the soldiers must have felt. Pace was a little slow in the first half of the movie and at times it was tough to understand how separate storylines were connected. That said, the disjointed beginning made for a cool culmination at the end. The underlying messages of compassion, sacrifice, and duty made a strong impression and put the bow on top. Not the most captivating film you'll ever watch, but heartwarming and strong nonetheless.
