It was entertaining, and it had enough scares and tension beyond the common jump-scare that it wasn’t a total failure, but if you want to see a good horror film, this isn’t it.

2019 | Comedy, Crime, Drama

"A hyper-jittery assault of a movie, constant anxiety and tension, pulsating with a wall-to-wall, stress-inducing electronic score that leaves not a second to catch your breath. And for Sandler’s performance of Howard Ratner, a heartbreaking mess of a human being."

"A fake relationship set in beautiful Key West without my leaving me couch? This is the type of getaway I’m talking about! Not to mention, Priscilla Oliveras writes gorgeous romances full of heart and emotion with just enough steamy tension to keep your pulse racing."

A very average thriller that's been done much better so many times before. Pity with Cage & Kidman this went straight to DVD. It Just lacks any real sense of dread, tension and unravels far too quickly. Similar to Hostage and Trapped but they are more enjoyable films.

A decent enough action thriller, slightly lacking on action though. There isn't a great deal of tension or suspense for this type of film either. Usual plot line with a couple of good lead actors in the main roles. Worth a watch but doesn't really stand out.

The dog fight aerial battles
A great film on a grand scale
A very well made film as you would expect from a great director. I liked the way the film cut from what was happening on the beach, sea and in the skies above. The dog fights with just the sound of the Spitfire engines and a hail of bullets was exciting. The score really stood out out as well heightening the sense of drama and building tension at key times. Complete with a good cast make this an intense experience of the story of Dunkirk.

Great twists
Great British Drama
One of the best British Dramas I've seen in ages. Only watched it along with the second series earlier this year. Quite short at 5 episodes but it really packs a punch. The tension and drama as the story unravels is excellent.

Shoehorned comic relief seems off
Unlikeable protagonist
A nice twist on the idea of racism in movies but temper your expectations
