Additional InformationFLYBOYS is a good old-fashioned historical drama concerning the Lafayette Escadrille, a French regiment of American volunteer airmen serving the allied cause in WWI before the US became officially involved. James Franco plays Blaine, a Texas rancher; he bunks with Eugene (Abdul Salis), an African American boxer whose been living in Paris as an ex-patriate to get away from American racism. Other fighters include a pampered New York scion (Tyler Labine) and a lanky, lazy Kansan (David Ellison). They all train under the patient hand of the French commander, succinctly embodied by the wondrous Jean Reno (LEON). Martin Henderson (TORQUE) is good and brusque as a jaded flier with a bunch of kills under his belt and an obsession with an ace German fighter; he wont let the new kids drink in the officer's club until theyÆve shot down their first planes. It all unfolds in a no-nonsense linear narrative that reminds one of early films like THE DAWN PATROL (1930) and WINGS (1927); and there's a comfortingly familiar orchestral score that's heavy with the cloud-invoking wooden flute. But the CGI-enhanced aerial dogfight scenes are the crux of the feature, and history fans should be frothing at the mouth with all the zeppelins, dogfights and enemy chivalry. There's plenty of well-researched period detail and even some romance in the form of a good girl gone semi-bad from a nearby brothel (the very charming Jennifer Decker).

ReviewsNew York Times - FLYBOYS is ever so nice, in the manner of a Norman Rockwell illustration....[The director] is a gentleman, moving things along with a tidy, well-mannered hand, Variety - Lovingly and knowledgably made, Ultimate DVD - Like TOP GUN with biplanes, this hugely fun movie has plenty of eye-catching dogfights...

Superb film featuring WW1 aircraft, whether real or CGI created!
A really excellent film with characters that are engaging. The acting is very good and the settings are very well recreated to show the realities of the airfields and the trenches. The battle sequences are superb and, as far as I am concerned, are a fantastic insight as to the horrors these people experienced. Like all wartime films there is a love theme going through it and it did take a surreal turn when a rescue is done....but the love theme is bearable. The battle sequences are truly astounding as is the sound on this disc. To summarise, a really great entertaining film, with great acting. This film has been made by people who have really brought WW1 aviation to a new generation of people. Perfect to add to your collection of other WW1 air films like The Blue Max and Aces High.
