Fly Boys (2006)

Battle of the skies

Another war movie! Fret not, this movie takes a different approach altogether. It is about a group of volunteers in the French Air Service, the Lafayette Escadrille and how they start as relatively unknowns and end as heroes of World War I.

As usual there is a leader of the pack, and he is non other than the-cooler-than-thou-and-the-green-goblin's-son James Franco. He stars as Rawlings, a suave guy who packs plenty of ambitions in his 5' 11" frame. And typical of many movies, there is the guy with a history, a guy who wants to change his destiny, a mommy's boy and several weird characters. I know it is Cliched but we still watch it nevertheless.

Few surprises here as we see this bunch of amateurs become world class pilots and eventually winning against the Germans. I think i miss out on a love story but well, it is insignificant in the end. A tad too draggy though, if the film makers can take out the love story, the movie will surely be more enjoyable. The flight sequences will keep you glue to your seats and after observing how easy pilots die during those turbulent days, their balls , i mean wings , are really made of steel.
