'1917' is arguably the year's most impressive cinematic accomplishment, CNN's Brian Lowry writes | Review
The war movie is a Hollywood staple, so much so that there might not be much new to say. Yet like"Dunkirk" a few years back, director Sam Mendes has found a way to breathe life into the genre with a simple story, imaginatively told, in"1917," arguably the year's most impressive cinematic accomplishment.
In what could easily have become a gimmick, Mendes and Oscar-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins have presented the movie as what looks like one long take -- think the opening tracking shot in"Goodfellas," with the camera following the characters, only on steroids.
