Hurricane

One group of mostly unsung heroes are the international pilots who served with the British during WWII. In the case of "Hurricane" most of these pilots are Poles....Polish pilots who escaped to Britain after the fall of Poland in 1939. And, in some ways this film is a nice tribute to them and their heroism. I say 'in some ways' because sometimes the film is very good....and sometimes the writing is pretty insufferable. Too often, the men fight, argue and act in ways that the Poles couldn't have acted....and it felt so much like it was controversy and the like just for the sake of controversy in the film. And, it's all way overly melodramatic and ham-fisted. The men deserved better than this.
