One of my favorites films.

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2005)

It's a Spielberg but it's not a typical Spielberg. The movie has great texture, dialog, acting, and character development. It's truly an underrated film. It's one of those movies where you feel immersed in the settings and you feel like you're actually watching the original story unfold for the first time. There is some great cinematography in the film too, especially if you're a nut for WWII fighter planes.
While I highly recommend it, the grim mood of the movie won't appeal to everyone.
Very highly recommended. From a historical perspective it's also interesting to see the very much documented WWII from a new angle. Based on a true story. Enjoy!
