I had to stop and look up this movie after about 30 minutes to see if I was the only one who thought it had a rubbish script, wooden actors, a complete shambles in costumes for the period and a complete lack of military guidance. It turns out I was not. The soldiers seem to have a democratic system on deciding what to do, obviously whoever directed this has never been in or near the military. The dying scene could have come out of Monthy Python - in fact it was a good copy of Peter Seller's 'dying scene' in The Party. As an ex-soldier I found myself appalled at the lack of basic military skills possessed by these 'specialist troops' - and in fact a simple google will confirm the Parachute regiment was formed on 22 June 1940 and Dunkirk took place 26 May – 4 June 1940! Not to mention that the Parachute Regiment cap badge only appeared in 1943! For goodness sake - if you are going to spend the £10,000 it must have cost to produce this rubbish, look up some basic facts!
