That is noted on the trailer and also I didn't want to be redundant. Did you see the trailer? I wanted to list a major WAR movie he was in. Til is also in Inglorious Bastards as the trailer also points out. Guess you missed that.

I got this about 6 months ago in the UK. Not a bad film but does get a bit boring at times, story is slow. I did enjoy the aerial fight scenes, the WW1 planes look really awesome, picture is very good and the DTS HD track is the best part of the movie.....

My impression of the preview is they decided to inject a love story to follow formula. Look at all the war movies with love stories, Pearl Harbor (more of a love story with a War in it), Midway (I get why they did it, wish they didn't), In Harm's Way (probably the least obtrusive love story), The Pacific mini series (one of the things many did not like about it) and even Flyboys. The better war movies don't have love stories like Full Metal Jacket, Patton, Platoon, Band of Brothers mini series, Saving Private Ryan and Apocalypse Now. Please take note screenwriters, no love stories in war movies from now on!

I like it and had no trouble following the accents. I love anything with those old WWI planes though.

I had no problem following the accents, just found it a bit boring in places. I still have it in my collection and will give it a re-watch in the near future. I'm also a lover of old war planes and this movie has lots of aerial action.

Or "Enemy at the Gates" another war film?
