Different and inspiring!
I liked it, girlfriend hated it. I thought it would be the opposite. Refreshingly different would be my main opinion on it. Now I'm off to question my sexuality.
Really enjoyed this. A genuinely different and interesting film is surely always a good thing? Surprised it's rated so poorly thus far.
Not quite on the level of the 'Love/Hate' TV series but a good watch, if a little short. Well cast and acted. Decent humour and a few sobering, graphic moments within the script.
Dunkirk maybe isn't as exciting as other events during WW2 but still very interesting and it's well told here.
Absolutely love the stamp Nolan put on it. It doesn't really seem like a Hollywood film, unlike many war movies. You normally have to look at foreign film for something different in this genre but he achieved it here.
Can't wait to re-watch it when the Blu-ray comes out!
I found it interesting overall but am not ashamed to admit I also found it a little hard to follow exactly what was going on in places. Maybe it's up to the audience to decide? The details seemed murky. The movie tries to shock you in places and to be different. This is refreshing but may also lose its way in doing so. Regardless of the other plot details it's clearly a story of revenge.
I did not really find it that similar to Taxi Driver or Drive in terms of cinematography or soundtrack, the main similarity of course is the protective male loner type character. As with De Niro and Gosling, Joaquin Phoenix was powerful and convincing.
Another great Nordic WW2 movie. Powerful drama which shows the complex struggles of Norwegian people in Narvik during the early stages of the war. Must watch for anyone interested in WW2.
I thought it was just OK. It's no Das Boot, but the score and some of the visuals were nice. I found the fake Russian accents to be an immersion-breaker. I much prefer movies based on true events to use actors that speak the language of the people who were there. It feels more natural. I think it's also a bit distracting for the audience when they see a big Hollywood actor like Harrison Ford or Liam Neeson, you don't expect them to be Russian.
Could have been done so much better… lots of useless video game dialog “let’s go!”, “over here!”. Really poor attempt at making it seem like you are watching a sports program. The narrator was awful (Bear Grylls?). The dog was the star.
Getting spoiled the last few years with films like this, Belfast, Banshees of Inisherin and An Cailín Ciúin :cowboy:
