The screenplay is by Steven Knight, who has repeated his Peaky Blinders trick of using an ahistorical soundtrack to soup up the on-screen action. However, where the Brummie gangster odyssey unfolded against a backdrop of the White Stripes, Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen, this time Knight has gone rockier. The narrative is liberally sprayed with chunks of AC/DC, from 'Highway to Hell' to 'Live Wire', while The Stranglers and The Damned leap out of the speakers at opportune moments. When Captain David Stirling and his ragged but ferocious troupe sweep in from the desert to destroy German and Italian airfields, they're accompanied by The Clash's 'I Fought The Law' (though in this case the law didn't win).
