Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
jimsbaddog I read the review and I certainly disagree. It may seem a little as they are driving across the desert but then it gets interesting. Its not a quick slam dunk movie but takes you into wandering whats going on the further it gets. And you also never really know who the goods guys are till the very end. Watch it carefully and you will be satisfied in the end. If you take the negative iew then you won't enjoy it and might as well stop before its gets going.
jlee-39837 In an era which I love, I adored this film. Set in the Arabian desert during WW1, a lovely English nurse and a strong headed American pilot are brought together to find a missing German ace which turns out to be a deadly game of deception and survival. Filled with adventure, suspense and cheeky comments .. pay attention as the story unfolds bringing you to a surprising ending...It captured me. The trailer gives nothing away.
easy_eight Stupid plot that did not make much sense, lousy acting, predictable characters. I have no idea why this movie was even released. I could go on and on, but I have said as much as is worthwhile. You will be disappointed with this movie. This is one of those movies that you end up yelling at the screen in disbelief.
Lars Christiansen This movie appealed to me by the theme and period; Dessert, WW1, action and adventure. The story about the German fighter-pilot (ace) that crashed in the Egyptian dessert and the couple sent out to rescue him and his secret intelligence was interesting too. But I might have had too high expectations for this movie – because it was a big disappointment for several reasons: There is a strange Tarantino-feel to the title-texts, just like the music is completely out of place too being like something from a Western. Then all the characters was so cliché (German = evil, British = civilized, American = heroic and reckless), and at the same time all of them was kind of annoying. So the first 45 minutes carried by their dialog was a real bore. The camera-angles could have supported the drama – but instead often felt static and plain. Even the tones and colors was grey'ish instead of warm and saturated – which could have improved the pictures a lot. Then historically I guess many things can be wrong too – like if the airplane-types was used in Egypt etc. – but I can accept that. So many good ingredients was just wasted and yes – lost in the dessert. I give it a 4 for idea and the effort.
