Based quite loosely on the activities of a famed group of young American pilots who joined the French cause during the Great War, this is a rather disappointing drama. James Franco takes the lead as the charming "Rawlings". He's a man who doesn't really think rules apply to him, but like the rest of his disparate gang, is a brave man who knows how to get his balsa-wood bi-plane up and dangerous. Back then, there was still a certain code of honour between the warring parties and their Bosch opponents (including the "Red Baron") observed some of the niceties of war - a dignity useful on occasion as weapons jamming and engines failing wasn't uncommon. Then he encounters "Lucienne" (Jennifer Decker) in an house of ill-repute, falls for her and must then undertake a perilous rescue mission - against the orders of CO "Thenault" (Jean Reno). The result? Well, she gets shot and he gets a medal! Thing is, though, she must be relocated to a safe hospital and he has to lead a bombing raid - will they ever meet again? Will their love endure? Did anyone care? The camera loved James Franco here, and he does bring a degree of charisma to help carry it through. Otherwise, though, the acting - especially from Reno, is really flat; there's much too much dialogue and what airborne antics there are are not especially well integrated CGI effects that lack realism and culminate in a rather weakly photographed denouement. It could have been better had they bothered to use a few real planes and scored it a little more engagingly. As it is - it's just too long and plodding.
