another british cinema flag waver . real garbage on offer here once again . i can not understand ( and i be british ) why this over the top and patriotic nonsense be ever make . eight year mark you and from when the second world war have actually end . other commenter here have remark on the editing and apparent seamless use of archive footage . this be extremely poorly observe . the archive footage be in abundance . model aircraft swing from wire in the action scene like so many child kite in the wind . the usual map room sequence tattoo the movie to make u supposedly draw into the whole malta event . guinness must have his bad act performance ever . the shock back drop dog fight scene be laughable . hawkins bore u all to death in the map room area . ealing make many great movie . this clearly be not one of them . they should have stay away from such unconvincing rot .
