Roger Ebert

RTChicago Sun-TimesOct 23, 2004

There are so many characters we never get involved. We can't even keep them straight. The writers never solved the problem of incorporating the top-heavy special effects into their thin little plot.

Christopher Lloyd

RTThe Film YapOct 21, 2019

This 1969 big-budget extravaganza is noted for its realistic recreations of aerial WWII dogfights.

Peter Canavese

RTGroucho ReviewsJun 1, 2008

Succeeds in giving the general impression of a pivotal historical moment, and excels in crafting some of the most astonishing aerial-warfare sequences ever put on film. [Blu-Ray]

RTDennis Schwartz Movie ReviewsMay 14, 2008

An all-star ensemble cast consisting of the who's who of British films can't save the war epic from being a bore.
