Review of Into the Storm (2009) by Grant S — 19 Dec 2015
Brilliant biopic.
The story of Winston Churchill's World War 2 life. From the outset, to him becoming Prime Minister and further, capturing all the major highs and lows. The famous speeches and quotes are all there.
Concludes with the 1945 election, where the British people betrayed Churchill and ushered in a more socialist Britain, and ended an empire.
Solid direction and script.
What makes the movie, however, is Brendan Gleeson. He IS Churchill, to the smallest mannerism. Brilliant performance by him.
Excellent performance too from Janet McTeer as Clementine, Churchill's wife.
