A Reflection Of History

2 stars

03 Mar 2020

This film portrays an important part of history that I think has not been given enough publicity. It shows that war can be in many different forms and how competitive modern industries can be. I learned a lot from The Current War; however, this production is not very action-packed and is very dark, stretching on for a long time-1 hour and 48 minutes-without a huge amount happening. Some famous actors appear to help bring life to this battle of electricity and power, but do not make it much more exciting. To summarise, this film is a different style to most, with less action and more historical significance. An older audience would be more suited to this production.
