A film tailor-made to showcase Gary Oldman's chameleon acting prowess, "Darkest Hour" is a good, not great film that plays as a terrific accompanyment to Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk." Set during the lowest point of World War II (at least for the Allies), "Hour" focuses on the rise of Winston Churchill (Oldman) as German forces close in on them and the war effort grows continually bleaker. When Neville Chamberlain is finally forced out of power, Churchill is installed, though no one really seems happy about that.
