In the end, I didn’t wait to stream it. Instead, at the invitation of a friend, I saw ‘Pressure’ yesterday at the classic Dedham Community Theatre. My verdict: thumbs up. The Atlantic’s David Sims had it right: it’s hard to instill real tension in a D-Day story that’s been told many times before, but director Anthony Maras managed to pull it off in ‘Pressure,’ via the tale of a meteorologist’s weather forecast, of all things. … Brendan Fraser as Eisenhower? It took some getting used to it, I admit. But he gives a surprisingly good performance. Andrew Scott (of Ripley fame) was typically excellent as Captain James Stagg, the meteorologist. … The movie has its share of flaws (among them frequent corniness), but it’s definitely a solid “dad-bait” flick, perfect for Father’s Day. It’s playing today at Dedham Community Theatre at 12 and 4:30. … Btw: There were more than a few buffoonish characters in the movie who reminded me of know-it-all Pete Hegseth (see below), but I won’t get into that here.
