About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a straightforward, suspenseful WWII air-mission drama with lots of in-flight danger and camaraderie, similar in spirit to Greyhound; Not for you if you dislike war stories or familiar, old-fashioned character types.
Pros: tense final-mission stakes; exciting aerial action; strong ensemble energy | Cons: predictable story beats; too many similar characters; uneven effects quality
