Deadline, IGN, Variety, and the Hollywood Reporter all gave it really solid reviews. The latter even says that Andrew Scott delivers an award-worthy performance. I might be seeing this on Friday or Saturday.

I’m sure it’s a good film. I’ll give it a watch when streaming.

I saw it Monday and enjoyed it... Didnt really know the specifics of it going into it, but it was a different perspective on a familiar story..

Definitely going to see it - likely Friday. Not too sure about the casting of Frasier as Eisenhower, though.

It looks good but Frasier looks miscast. I can’t take him seriously.

Love the actor; he is miscast. Five inches taller and about 50 lbs heavier just doesn't look right. I would love an Eisenhower biopic. Our best president deserves one.

I was curious watching the movie because he looked so much bigger than everyone else... I didnt know Eisenhower's actual size so it didnt really bother me while watching...

It was very noticeable to me. Frasier’s a lot taller and thicker than Eisenhower in the movie. He also doesn’t particularly look like him in the face. The “Order of the Day” also made me cringe compared to Eisenhower’s famous delivery.

Overall, I liked the movie. It’s not the greatest war movie ever filmed, but I enjoyed it.
