If you would have walked up to me and said, “Harry Styles is going to steal the show in ‘Dunkirk.'” I would have laughed in your face or just thought you were a stupid, moron or just a complete dunce–idiot!
However, after seeing the flick, I gotta say Harry did, in fact, steal the show. The former One Direction frontman nails his performance in Christopher Nolan’s WWII masterpiece about stranded soldiers on the beaches of France. Harry’s acting is natural and authentic playing a young soldier who is just trying to survive a seemingly hopeless situation. But his character’s self-serving drive makes him the unexpected villain of the movie. Another twist that I didn’t see coming but loved!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting the singer-turned-actor to play such a meaningful role in “Dunkirk.” Harry’s character wasn’t just in the peripheries looking sexy, he lead the movie with the most dialogue. This proves that Nolan knew the potential in Harry, gambled on him and it paid off because Harry has earned himself a new fan, me. It would be great to see him play a lead in another Hollywood blockbuster.
Oh yeah, don’t sleep on that strange sea foam that made a guest appearance in “Dunkirk” either.
