It is such a long time after the fact. I'm amazed that someone had the ***** to try to make a flying film about WWI. And it's not like they can round up a bunch of of WWI pilots for advisors. :-) Overall, I would say that it is a wonderful film. The adrenaline rush I got lasted for hours after I left the theatre. I can hardly wait to see it again. Spook ============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
