Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

juneebuggy This gave me quite a few chuckles, its a bittersweet comedy with an interesting idea for a story. Following an 83 year old war veteran who returns to Germany to try and atone for the destruction he caused during WW II.The father has lived with terrible guilt after accidentally bombing a small town and now wants to make a formal apology. Along for the road trip is his son Ross who after a break-up and without any options is stuck back with his parents and driving the family camper van. Not fun for him but sure made me laugh.As expected nothing goes according to plan but it does bring the family together. I particularly enjoyed how this trip forced the mother to examine her marriage and you do feel sorry for the father, the guilt he must have faced. 03.13

MoviesForAM Came across this DVD, and because I'm a very particular film watcher, I was hesitant to sit and start watching it unless it was going to be a good movie. Two of the "user" reviews on IMDb didn't seem to get the film, but the trailer looked like just my kind of movie.As it turned out, I was delighted by the movie from beginning to end. It is one of those movies where the little details in the editing and the music scoring and the acting are so well done. The best thing about this movie is the performances of the elderly parents. Those are EXPERT actors. They know just what they're doing, from their big moments to the little glances and expressions. The film moves along so briskly and easily, and it ultimately provides two monologues for the elderly husband and the wife characters near the end of the film that allow the two actors to truly demonstrate their expertise in their craft.Watching the extra behind the scenes portion of the DVD revealed that all that precise editing (so well done) and the excellent photography were all accomplished with a micro budget and barely any crew at all (really just four or five people). This film really goes to show how filmmakers who really know what they're doing can do a lot on a very small budget and make it all look so smooth.I thoroughly enjoyed "Bomber," especially the performances of Benjamin Whitrow and Eileen Nicholas. They were both delightful and amazing. The writing is superb, and the story is funny, touching, and easy to take. The script and the acting provide insights into human nature and its emotional potential. Glad I saw it.

reccewoody I found this movie via a Facebook page and promptly ordered the DVD direct from the producers, mainly because I like Shane Taylor as an actor. Normally a low budget indie film would pass me by, but I'm really glad I bought this.In an era where so many movies fill up all the pauses between dialogue with explosions, gun fire and cgi, it's wonderful to have a film that breathes. Indeed, as witty and clever as the dialogue is, it's actually the silences, reactions and looks between the cast that make this film what it is. Not that it's all "moody silences" and art-house pretentiousness. The movie isn't one of those "trying so hard to give us a message" stories that make up for lack of story by trying over hard to be worthy. No, this is a well told story of ordinary people, with ordinary feelings that we all encounter with our own families.The acting is simply excellent and the use of real German locations and people as extras grounds the film with a sense of realism. The production values and photography are far better than you might expect from a low budget film, in fact I would have just assumed this was a typical production with a crew of hundreds if I had not watched the director's commentary on the DVD.My only tiny tiny complaint, is that I never really believed in Benjamin Whitrow as a WWII veteran. His great acting very nearly convinced me otherwise, but unfortunately he was just a little too young looking, and as good as he was in the role I couldn't quite accept that he had been 18 in 1943. That said, the family dynamic and interplay was so utterly convincing I would not have substituted an older actor at the cost of this relationship believability.Worth getting

Thistle-3 Bomber is the story of a small family in England. The mother and father are in their golden years and setting off on a holiday to Europe. Each has a different reason for going. They have a grown son who ends up accompanying them on the trip. As you'd expect, issues, that have long been festering in the family, surface and must be dealt with while they travel the B roads. The acting is excellent. There were quite a few parts where the audience was laughing so loudly I couldn't hear the dialogue. But, at the film's climax, which was a bit shocking, you could have heard a pin drop. I liked it, but to be honest, I was frustrated, because there were some things I'd have liked to say to the characters that could have helped their predicament. Even an episode of Dr Phil might have helped! But, I cared about the family and enjoyed my time with them on the road. Bomber gets an 8.
