Rating: 5.0
A Must See
Finally a WWI Air combat film which aren't done very much. This film as SPECTACULAR in its multiple air combat footage, NO hints of computer animation, excellent plot, and a stand up performance by Jean Reno (The Professional) as French Squadron captain, and great sets. Yes, there is a small element of a love story here but beleivable to the times and does not dominate the movie's theme. You end up staying watching the credits after the movie!!! How many times does one do that?This is a must see movie, historcally accurate, even to the point that costumes are all wool and leather, if you have read your WWI history. This one is a sleeper and I predict some sort of Oscar nominiation aty least for either direction, cinematography, or costume design.I'll be getting this one on DVD as a "good match" to the "Flying Leathernecks" with John Wayne. Don't miss Flyboys.
