    Starring Albert Finney. Focuses Prior to WW2, Winston Churchill warns of the growing Nazi threat and faces down personal demons.

    I thought it wasn't bad, any one else seen it? Thoughts?

    Albert Finney is superb and the production is excellent, but it takes a few liberties with British political history.

    The film is supperb! And Albert Finney is excellent. There has been no other person so alike in looks like Churchill… :eek:

    Just don't like that they never include Churchill in WWII… [​IMG]

    I guess its fruitless for me to hope for HBO to make a sequel

    Perhaps following Churchill's series on WW2 and title the sequel "Their Finest Hour'
