I just saw the movie last night.
Yes, that USA Today review and comment regarding diversity is puzzling. Just how diverse was the British army and British citizens and other Allies engaged in that battle in 1940? When I watch a film set in time I look more for historical accuracy
and less for diversity for diversity sake.
The jerking of the scenes and time lines became a bit confusing for me...not to mention frequently annoying. The action was disrupted.
As Olle mentions the opening could have provided more background to set the stage for the movie and especially the characters. Boom there you are in the middle of some fight.
The only glaring prop bungle was the burning Spitfire. I guess the engine disappeared and the propeller was just attached to some long pole.
While the movie was entertaining and enjoyable for a guy that likes war movies and action adventure genre, I would not rate it very high.
