I believe Tom Hardy is one of the finest actors of his generation. His performance as an RAF pilot brings to the big screen in Dunkirk demonstrated he could have easily been a
quintessential fighter pilot at a time when the British people needed the young men of his country to hold the Nazis at bay until the US got involved in WW II.
If Tom prepared for war the way he prepares for acting roles; I believe he would have been an Ace of both the skies as well as the big screen! Great performance Mr. Harty!
