THEIR SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT

It’s a good trick when it is used intentionally and in the hands of an author.

Dunkirk is his apex because it establishes him as a great filmmaker outside comic-book/sci-fi work.

Dunkirk

Which scene is the most rewatchable?

The armada arrival.

Dunkirk

Is Cillian Murphy's section the movie's weakest stretch?

Fishburne is the film's true center and the most exciting performance.

King of New York

Whether King of New York could work as a long-form TV remake
