This is a new Russian-produced film about an IL-2 pilot during WWII. Even with the spotty CGI effects I was fine with the trailer until the final 30 seconds or so when the film-makers decided to go "all Hollywood" and ruin it for me. I actually laughed. You'll know what I mean when you see it.

Is that how the legendary "Kobra" maneuver was first done? Looks like it has potential though.

Yeah, I laughed as well, even knowing that something was coming.

And that is a shame. It could have taken a good and important tale and presented it well. But it didn’t.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
