The story of D-Day has been told countless times. But “Pressure” tells a tale that is relatively little known and weather plays a starring role. Andrew Scott plays a Scottish meteorologist whose job was to prepare a forecast for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. His forecast was an unpopular one, but it ultimately forced postponement of the invasion and saved the day. Playing opposite Brendan Fraser as a physically opposing, blustery Ike, Scott gives a terrifically layered performance, writes Associated Press critic Jocelyn Noveck in her review. Focus Features releases “Pressure” in theaters Friday.
