I really enjoyed this movie. Wasn't going to watch it initially because I'd already watched "Churchill" and didn't think it worth going over the same stuff, but it is actually a different version/viewpoint of the same time-frame - albeit only the first 3 weeks or so of Churchill's assention to Prime Minister. I think Gary Oldman did a good job of Churchill, but Brian Cox was better. If you haven't watched Dunkirk, watch it after this one and you'll get a continuation of the story.
Possible spoiler alert.. if Churchill had taken the peace treaty, millions upon millions of people might have been saved because the war would have essentially been over in May of 1940. Hitler initially had no intention of invading the U.K. as he felt they were a fellow "Aryan race." He'd have turned his full might onto Russia - an enemy of all the other coalition governments at the time. We'll never know if his decision was a good one or a bad one...
