Review by: Jason James Rating:

This movie was promoted as being a dog fight of a W.W.I. movie. The air combat scenes are good and by themselves make the movie worth watching. Though just before the CGI air combat scenes you were always tortured by these corny shots of the pilots looking at each other and then in combat the pilots would look at each other with some of the dumbest expressions on there faces. I am not sure how factual the story is, I am sure some of it is pretty accurate but other places you can tell are made up. This movie is not great but I think most people will like it.
