Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Spent just over two hours Christmas Day sitting with my wife in a packed theater here in Fort Myers, FL being transported back in time as I watched Gary Oldman deliver the best acting job of his life. The Darkest Hour may not be a factual, moment by moment account of what took place in those critical few days before the British people in their little boats managed to pull off one of the most unbelievable rescues of all time, but it sure has all the rich detail one would expect to read about in the most authoritative historical account. The only thing missing IMHO, were young people in the theater, who apparently find the pure fiction of the latest 'Star Wars' episode more appealing. One can only hope their parents, or grandparents take the time to bring them to see this so that can better understand why the study of history really does matter. Hats off to those responsible for creating this masterpiece.
