Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

I read the review and I certainly disagree. It may seem a little as they are driving across the desert but then it gets interesting. Its not a quick slam dunk movie but takes you into wandering whats going on the further it gets. And you also never really know who the goods guys are till the very end. Watch it carefully and you will be satisfied in the end. If you take the negative iew then you won't enjoy it and might as well stop before its gets going.

In an era which I love, I adored this film. Set in the Arabian desert during WW1, a lovely English nurse and a strong headed American pilot are brought together to find a missing German ace which turns out to be a deadly game of deception and survival. Filled with adventure, suspense and cheeky comments .. pay attention as the story unfolds bringing you to a surprising ending...It captured me. The trailer gives nothing away.

The idea behind the movie is quite OK, but why is the German so evil (bark bark I iz ein evil soldier !!) , the English lady so pale with a perfect makeup and the washed-up American so... American?I don't want to reveal the plot or the twist but how in god's name did they manage to find themselves at the exact same point in this huge a** desert?and wouldn't the sandstorm maybe cover some key elements?Anyway : - German soldier evil laugh "check" - American sad back story "check" - Perfect desert proof makeup "check"watch it only if you have absolutely nothing better to do (such as setting the table, or washing the dishes)

Excellent adventure film set in the Egyptian desert in WW1 (circa 1917). A truly engaging film with a twisty plot filmed in a superb desert location (near Death Valley). And nice close action photography of biplanes (none actually flown by the ace pilot main characters). (spoiler:) Essentially three characters: an ace pilot German double- agent who only speaks German, a bilingual English nurse, and an American ex-baseball player, grounded ace pilot. Brilliant chase scene and a struggle to the death over stolen intelligence, with no sex, romance, or gratuitous violence. Rated R for some appropriate cussing.
