Bad, bad, bad

Really don't bother with this film as it is a very, very, very poor relation to Memphis Belle. My husband bought it as he loves all things WWII. Within 2 minutes we realised this was a real stinker. The first few minutes showed the American crew of a Bomber on a bombing raid - I couldn't understand a single word as everything was being said through their face masks. We soon realised that this cast of young actors were all total unknowns - probably because not a single one of them could act. The film tried to show a bonded crew with their banter and their brewing of moonshine etc - but the film was so poorly done that we just didn't care about their characters. The planes were all CGI but badly done. The final 15 minutes was the best part of the film but then totally ruined by the last 2 minutes. So do not buy or rent this film. If you are remotely interested wait until it comes on TV but honestly, don't waste your time with it.
