Moviegoers are saying
This meteorological D-Day thriller divides audiences between those who appreciate Andrew Scott's 'quietly electric' performance as weatherman James Stagg and those who find Brendan Fraser miscast as Eisenhower. What emerges is a unique 'diva-off between two meteorologists' that turns weather forecasting into surprisingly gripping drama, though many feel it takes too long to find its footing.
