I will agree. Not a lot of dialogue and much of what there was was difficult to understand because of the noise of what was going on. I suggested that it could use close captions. I watch lots of British TV on the streaming services and I always turn on the close captioning so I don’t miss any of the plot from not catching the dialogue due to the accents.

I thought the action in the movie was top notch. Nolan seemed to really strive to keep it realistic. There also was not alot of gore. No flying body parts and graphic stuff like Pvt. Ryan. It was very harrowing and I think that is how it was supposed to be. I was also very engrossed in the movie. Kind of white knuckled for the last hour especially.

Now I am off to watch Hacksaw Ridge which I DVR’d from HBO last night.

Reminds me of the SNL skit about the British movie nobody could understand....'Don' You Go Rounin' Roun to Re Ro'. One of the reviews.....'USA Today says: "I thought they were speaking a foreign language. I don't think I heard a single consonant."'
