Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe British RAF did in fact operate the American-built Consolidated B-24 Liberator. They were ordered in 1940 but were only operational with the RAF from 1941. The RAF used the Mark II Liberator primarily in Coastal Command and Bomber Command (as depicted in this film), but also for carrying heavy cargo. Most of the aircraft were based in Britain and operated over Northern and Western Europe, but they also saw service in North Africa and the Middle East.
- GoofsWhen Capt. Kirk was discussing the upcoming mission under the wing of his B-24 Liberator aircraft, a modern VOR antenna was seen on the fuselage. The aircraft must be a still-flying example of this great aircraft, but this equipment was not invented until in the late 1950's.
Featured review
Surprisingly good for an independent film
Not your average war film, but rather an interesting look at the life of commonwealth pilots that served Britain during the war. The visual effects are not as great as many Hollywood productions, but this isn't a Hollywood production. Don't get me wrong, they are rather good on a high definition screen, but I was a little sad to see that the main air battle was short lived. The film is more about a bomber pilot and his crew, and their daring escape from occupied Europe. That being said, after watching the behind the scenes documentary that was also available on the Blu Ray, I have new found respect for the film makers. The director taught himself visual effects and took it unto himself to do all the work alone, for almost three years. One can easily see the passion, blood, sweat and tears thrown into the production. It's reminiscent of the old auteur filmmakers, which we do not see very often. One can not expect all films to have massive budgets and for that I completely forgive the lack of "quality', if you can call it that, in the air battle scenes. Once on the ground, the film takes a different direction and I found the slow pace reminded me of older films I had watched in my younger days. I can see this film will not appeal to a younger audience who are used to the fast paced action scenes that make up the majority of films today. Unfortunately it won't be remembered as one of the great war films, but it was enjoyable none the less. If you're looking for a fast thrill, skip this film, it requires more commitment from its audience.
