sergelamarche Good true story that hurts. Decent acting and believable reenactments. The second world war strikes again.
dougherron-23877 Why does the blurb on the back of the DVD box (in the UK at least) state the story is about the AMERICAN Olympic gold medalist Eric Liddell?Is this some sort of weak falsehood to appeal to the American market or have they actually changed the story so much that he is portrayed as an American? Either way it gives me no confidence that the film is anything other than garbage...
thekingsdom I didn't rate this at all sadly. How some people can give this a perfect 10 is beyond me. I wanted to like this film but sadly it was quite cheesy and gooey. It's one of those films that goes through the 'tick box' list. We have the evil Japanese, the perfect Chinese, sweet, smiling, innocent children, soppy music and perfect tick box characters. It's not a terrible film, it's just a very average film. To me, this was a December 27th Christmas period 3pm TV film. Watchable but also entirely forgettable.
eacurtis-03865 We had to drive 1.5 hours to see this film, as it was only in one theater in our state. The drive was totally worth it!!! On Wings of Eagles is a very high quality film, with production value, sets, acting, and special effects that could compare to most Hollywood flicks. Joseph Fiennes' performance was very strong and believable. His acting talent carried this film, just as it did in Risen. The story is very moving and inspiring, and is a great sequel to Chariots of Fire. I was very excited to see this on the big screen and hope that many people will be inspired by it. Several scenes with blood give it its' PG-13 rating, but the violence is not disturbing or overly graphic. This is a great film that is worth watching! My rating: Excellent!!!
