Eddie Harrison film-authority.com '...a splendidly old-fashioned film, a guilty pleasure for nostalgia fans and soppy romancers alike...' Rated: 3/5 Jan 5, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast Wonderful throwback with compelling melodrama and just enough war movie thrills to balance the soft lens. Aug 28, 2023 Full Review Peter Martin EverythingButHorror.com Ford and Plummer have good chemistry together, and the action is nearly continuous. The narrative momentum picks up as the film progresses ... Peter Hyams has always been highly talented at telling a story through the visual medium.

Audience Member The plot is plausible. The acting is good. Cinematography is grand. I know some will think this is not important, but the score is all wrong! Opening scenes with the two characters, falling in love...ridiculous music. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Rami A Harrison Ford and Christopher Plummer make a fantastic team despite the dull story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Steve D Forgettable but entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review jelisije j A movie that didn't get quite interesting until its last 30 minutes, but what can you expect from a love story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I found the bombing mission scenes to be disappointing. One of the crew continually making bad jokes about not wanting to be there and the bad blood between Harrison's character and the leader of the squadron before missions didn't seem at all realistic. Memphis Belle is about twenty times better. Nice Kublewagens that had VW gas caps. The romance wasn't all that convincing either. Should have been more like: "Okay, that was fun but I may get caught soon so let's stop doing this." Rather than the "true love" they tried to pass off. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining. Little loose on facts. American pilots did not have long hair during WW2. Pilots based outside of London did not have access to Jeeps to go driving out into the country. Radio chat did not happen on bombing missions. Other than those mistakes the music was beautiful and the story very well could have happened. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
