Phil Hoad Guardian Somewhere, a corner of Great Britain is still mentally fighting the second world war. Nothing else explains how this kind of wanly acted, flyboys-sock-it-to-the-Boche autopilot outing could attract funding in the 2020s. Rated: 1/5 Jan 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Mark P Well it bounced from amateur dramatics to, you can't stop watching. At times you feel like you've part of it but sadly just didn't keep hold of you all the way through. All that said worth the watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Luis G The director's storytelling in this film approaches an almost impossible mission. It's evident that he performed wonders within the budget constraints. However, the cinematography and narrative flow betray a level of experience one might not expect from an independent film. The action sequences are particularly impressive for an indie movie, and the standout performances of Joseph Millson as Robert Banks and Alina Tamara as Saskia elevate the film substantially. Both actors deliver remarkable performances; Alina, in particular, effectively conveys a range of emotions, ensuring that her character Saskia shares equal prominence with Robert. Her portrayal is nuanced, oscillating between vulnerability and strength, embodying a character whose fate—whether as a savior or otherwise—remains a compelling aspect of the plot. Director Nicholas has done an incredible job under financial constraints. It's apparent that with a larger budget, his vision could have been further realized, but he and his team should take pride in their accomplishment. I recommend this movie to those who appreciate lesser-known war stories, are fans of action, or enjoy films centred around a mission. The movie's unique approach and commendable performances make it a noteworthy watch." Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review jo m Great achievement for the budget. great lead performance.
