Just saw it at a screening.....Excellent film. Good intriguing story that holds your attention keeping you on the edge of your seat, , good acting and great cinematography. Even though the bulk of the movie is just one or two characters, and the amount of dialogue is limited, the film tells the story well, it flows smoothly, and what dialogue there is, works well and is often quite powerful. The bombed out town is awesome cinema, that needs a big screen, and translates well onto a large theater screen. I'm not sure how well this film will play out on streaming, dvd or television. It really needs that old time cinema huge screen to work. So, if you are a fan of this genre, which I am, try to catch it at the theater instead of waiting for the smaller media.......I saw this film with my brother who's an executive with one of the film studios, and my nephew who is a junior in college. My brother gave it a 10. My nephew gave it an 8/9. But they both said they doubt it will interest the Marvel/Star Wars crowd. This is a really excellent film that should greatly satisfy most anyone that enjoys this genre. It's not Private Ryan or Dunkirk like though. It's darker and much more realistic, and the story line is more straight forward. It really never deviates from it's mission with any subplots or key side players. Mendes adapted this from stories told to him by his grandfather who fought in the war.
