A band of soldiers must battle their way through Nazi territory to rescue a scientist that could help turn the tide of WWII.

I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Gerard Pauwels who played Colonel Plummer in Operation Dunkirk for making me think, even if it was only just for a little while that Operation Dunkirk was going to be a tolerable movie. I was expecting good or even ok, this movie was released by The Asylum after all. All I was hoping for was tolerable. Now to the director Mr Nick Lyon. What you ultimately delivered with Operation Dunkirk was the cinematic equivalent of the fate of the 440 Dodge Monaco formerly known as the Bluesmobile from the 1980 movie The Blues Brother. Your ‘movie’ just fell apart you did as little as possible to make the audience care about the main characters. I’m not sure if in all good conscious I can refer to Operation Dunkirk as a ‘movie’ a more accurate description would be a poorly conceived feature-length WWII re-enactment. I mean the grand climax when the air support came to save the day was more comedic then a relief. I could see that you tried to save the movie with a tender goodbye between Angelique and the surviving members of the squad, but it was too little too late.

I might have to apologize to me DVD player.
