A LOW BUDGET WWII movie entitled "Operation Dunkirk" was just released straight to video. Unlike the HIGH BUDGET HOLLYWOOD movie entitled "Dunkirk" (which was touted as, but does not show, the history of Dunkirk), this one simply portrays a ficticious military operation that took place at/during Dunkirk. If the director and producer had 1/10th of the budget of "Dunkirk", it would have been a great movie. It is available at Wal-Mart in their $9.96 section. What is unique about this film is that it was filmed entirely in Indiana. You might recognize someone in it as one of the extras. I really expected it to be poorly acted and cheesy. When it was filmed, not a single shot was fired and the shooting was digitally added later - and the effect looked way better than I expected. If they had a larger budget for uniforms and weapons (the major complaints about the movie), it would have been a decent flick. This is no Hollywood blockbuster, but, still, for what it is, I was pleasently surprised, and it was fun seeing people I knew in it. I expected too much from "Dunkirk" and was disappointed, and on the other hand, I expected very little from this movie and was pleasantly surprised.
