PRESSURE is an extremely smart, intellectual, highly entertaining film based on true events that determined the final decision of what day “to go” for D-Day during WWII. The script was accurate and tight. It flew across weather details as if the dialogue was action-packed. It was an intense story featuring an outstanding calibre of acting talent. It was a hidden jewel, as opposed to some of the endless summer crap being shown on every cable network. It highlighted the brave and courageous among ordinary men who were just trying to do the right thing.
The success of PRESSURE was deeply rooted in the brilliant acting. Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Chris Messina, and Damian Lewis all delivered. It worked so well because it was truly an ensemble effort, and audiences know they are being treated to a behind-the-scenes look at a very dangerous and consequential event in our history. No one grandstanded in their role. Each puzzle piece fit perfectly as the story unfolded. Well done. The film speaks for itself and will not disappoint audiences.
PRESSURE was a surprise. I did not expect to like it, nor to be as intrigued as I was while watching. This movie was recommended to me by family, and I am passing along this recommendation to everyone else.
Don’t miss PRESSURE while it is streaming on Peacock.
