Ballers: Series 1
Very thin storyline
Disappointing - lots of swearing, lots of nubile pretty girls and fast cars - but no story - I was left struggling to decide what actually happened!

Dunkirk
Poor film preferred the 1958 version
As with so many modern films drama and dialogue were sacrificed in order to fit in lots of CGI action (aerial scenes were good to be fair).
Throwing in lots of big name actors does not guarantee a good film (why was Michael Caine included as a Fortis leader on the intercom?). Dialogue was poor, the script was confined to the bare bones of the Dunkirk story. The scene where troops cowered in a trawler while unseen Germans took potshots at them was boring.
Where was the story of the rearguard? What happened to the trials faced by the troops on the beach? Why did it give the impression that only the small ships took men off the beach?
The final straw was the performance by Mark Rylance - his lack of emotion when a young member of his crew was killed was laughable - perhaps he was too busy contemplating what he was going to spend his paycheck on!
Don't waste a couple of hours of your life on this film.
