Connections, in both directions
Pressure is perhaps best viewed as another piece in the cinematic mosaic of D-Day – The Longest Day, Overlord, The Big Red One, and Saving Private Ryan…
…most sequences of filmed combat in war movies since Saving Private Ryan have been unable to capture the visceral intensity of how Steven Spielberg depicted the storming of Omaha Beach…
…the biggest land invasion in history has been chronicled in cinema’s grandest epics, such as The Longest Day, Saving Private Ryan, and on the small screen, Band of Brothers.
…the carnage here pales when compared to the still agonizingly powerful opening of Spielberg’s SAVING PRIVATE RYAN…
…classic films like Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan…
…it’s simply impossible for the film not to come up short when inevitably compared to the unsurpassable D-Day sequences in Saving Private Ryan…

…there have been many films about D-Day from "The Longest Day"…
1962’s all-star epic The Longest Day…
…or even 1962’s epic The Longest Day…
Christopher Nolan faced the same problem in both Oppenheimer and Dunkirk. Keeping the audience’s attention when they already know the outcome is notoriously difficult.
Dunkirk unfolding over one hour, one day, and one week…

Much in the same way that Schindler’s List was shown to students while I was in school, I can see Pressure following a similar trajectory.
Universal Studios’ U-571 splashed onto our screens, recklessly transferring to the US Navy an exploit largely inspired by the capture, by British sailors, of an Enigma machine and vital code material from a German U-boat.
Also, let us not neglect the under-appreciated significance of the Underworld and Resident Evil franchises, each with female leads (Kate Beckinsale and Milla Jovovich respectively.)
Stagg comes off like the one honest man at court in A Man For All Seasons, nobly holding his ground while others crave expediency…
I kept thinking of the more colorful PATTON…
Mostly, to quote Newt from “Aliens.”
If this is competency porn of the highest order, Andrew Scott is its Dirk Diggler.
(Batman Begins’ Wayne Manor, aka Mentmore Towers, stands in for the real location.)
Sharp-eyed scholars will catch the Band of Brothers connection between Scott and Lewis, as the pair shared a critical scene in the former World War II project about D-Day, but from the American perspective.
…a perfectly snide Damian Lewis, reuniting here with his Band of Brothers co-star Andrew Scott…
What follows amounts to something like the Moneyball of war movies, with a disruptive force seeking to modernize operations running into consistent confrontation with a rigid old guard that rests on its laurels.
A superb Scott brings heart and dignity to the quiet spoken man who keeps his work and personal life severely separate in a way that’s reminiscent of Tom Hanks’ Captain Phillips.
Christopher Nolan faced the same problem in both Oppenheimer and Dunkirk. Keeping the audience’s attention when they already know the outcome is notoriously difficult.
…like 1917‘s one-shot action…
