elderly Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 For ‘fans’ of the Mosquito, this film streaming from later this week tells the story of the ill-fated raid in 1944 on the Gestapo’s Copenhagen. HQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundowner14 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 This post could be considered a spoiler. Having watched the film last night, I wouldn’t class it as one for fans of the Mosquito (average CGI, basically). It’s not even for any fan of RAF aircraft or it’s role in WWII, but does show how a small event in the big scheme of things has a massive impact on an outcome and is a very sobering reflection on the civilian costs of war, which is made particularly poignant when watching at this current time. That is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamS Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I’m not sure enjoy is the right term but I did like it. And more poignant given current events. Recommended. Graham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Agree with many of the previous comments on here. A very bleak, un-burnished story of an incredibly sad event in a long, brutal and harrowing war. In some ways, it's the "Anti-Top Gun 2". It's a little ironic that one movie will be watched by millions and the other watched by a relative handful of people. Art versus commercialism?

Ray_W Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Confronting film. I do rate it highly. I would not say I enjoyed it. Not that type of movie. Brilliant acting, camera work and editing. Really well written narrative. In fact, I could say more on that but it would be full of spoilers. Excellent music. The flight scenes have the same bleak emotive outlook and I thought were extremely well done. I would not criticise the flight minutiae or CGI. Frankly, I was so engrossed in the movie I was not looking for errors. Felt like a navigator going along for the ride. Watch it and also go along on the emotional roller coaster ride. Not a pic for the kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markh-75 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Good film, rather sad at the end but I suppose it did happen like that alot. WE will never know the actually hardships and persecution that the people of Europe went through under the Germans, other than watching TV and reading in books: the young boy who was traumatised at the start of the film; it was especially hard on the children, they were exposed to things that children need never see or experience. Good story, well written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
