'Pressure’s' Ending Is A ‘Victory,’ But One Star Told Us That’s Not The Full Story

Cinema Blend

The whole goal of the critically acclaimed war film "Pressure" is to show the decision-making that went into whether D-Day could happen on its scheduled day or not. In the end, Andrew Scott’s meteorologist James Stagg and Brendan Fraser’s General Dwight D. Eisenhower decide to call it off for a day because of the weather; however, they realize it is able to happen one day later. Ultimately, it’s a successful mission, and we see that “victory” in the film. However, when CinemaBlend spoke to Kerry Condon about the movie, she told me why there’s a bit more complexity to that ending.
