Pleasantly surprised
I'm an American Israel, former SAG member, movie, airplane and war history enthusiast. So, I saw this today at the Prescott Arizona film festival with a critical eye.
My biggest fear is that because this is a (Nancy) Spielberg production, the CGI would dominate and ruin the film just like the abominable 2012 Lucasfilm bomb, "Red Tails".
YES, there was CGI because of the lack of real footage from the extremely hard-pressed and embryonic Israel Air Force. So, it was used to increase the drama with the recreations of the training, flights, crashes, etc.
I was pleasantly shocked that ALL the cuss words, including the "F-Bomb" were not bleeped out. Amazing; I guess Nancy doesn't share her brother's politics.
When Paul Rubens came on the screen I snickered with the memory of his embarrassing arrest in 1991 but quickly got engrossed by the story of his father, one of the machal pilots!
Kol ha kavode, Nancy, you done good!
