Phil Hoad Guardian It has an easy swing and self-assurance, thanks in no small part to a well-starched performance by Shane O’Regan as real-life pilot Brendan Finucane, AKA “Spitfire Paddy”. Rated: 3/5 Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Paul M I don't know why some people blasted the acting and performance of the show, calling some of the actors no name when they are primarily Irish actor. Having been in the aviation field for over 38 years I found this movie very compelling telling the history of a fighter Ace that many of us have never heard of. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Kandy A A mere time filler. The lead actor was good but let down by a mediocre supporting cast and poor CGI. A nostalgic look at the past but a bit boring. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Drumguy48 A decent timewaster which is sad because I had high hopes for this film . The CGI of the flying scenes was ok not great . Acting was mediocre . Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
